Viewing a response to: @fyrstikken/bidbots-they-do-not-drain-the-steem-rewardpool
The problem with bidbots is that they are rent-seeking behavior that ultimately does not benefit the platform as a whole. They simply allow higher payouts to be provided to posts of any quality level. Ultimately, I think this breaks the [economic engine](https://steemit.com/steemit/@somethingsubtle/a-tale-of-two-steemits) of Steemit.
