Thank you very much for your reply. I hope we can use this opportunity to enhance mutual understanding of the issue.

Now I understand that you feel uncomfortable that these votes are "large". 

As far as I know, examples of steemmonsters and SCT- they are large as more users (in terms of steem powers) support the project. 

I thought that if the project may gather more steem power to support it, it is better both for steem and the project. But I may be wrong.

So what is your suggestion of solving this issue? For example, who would, and how we can decide which amount is "large"?

Thank you for your opinion. I don't really know what new steem movement is, but hope such downvotes are not one of the movement.

I used bidbots because that was a way for me to invest in Steem and that was how I grew my account without any whale support or attention. I am not saying bidbots are not abusive, but not everyone abused Steemit via bidbots. As far as I am concerned I only withdrew significant amount of SBD/Steem once, back when I was starting 30 SBD when it was worth 7 USD each. Just to prove that Steemit was not scam. I bidbot not to game the system and make me earn, I bidbot to grow my account and help make my community of plankton that less people cared. Then lately, I have just been surprised with downvotes. I stopped sending bids because I actually understand how they want to fix the bidbot abuse and I appreciate that. But you know, tagging you as an abuser, downvoting you suddenly without any warning coming from an authority... I guess that is not what I expected.

First of all, I believe we have not "met". And I find it uncomfortable that someone, stranger to me, directly  "orders" me what to and what not to do.

And let me clarify your misunderstanding regarding steem engine tokens. 

Many steem engine tribes, especially SCT, has incentived users to **BUY lots steem which supported steem prices.** @aggroed will confirm that SCT alone has gathered more than a million steem. Or I guess one may check historic inflow of steem from exchanges (say, upbit) that goes to SCT or other token purchases using the blockchain record.

I have not used non-steem engine based bidbots before, so I have limited knowledge in this matter. But as far as I know, these bidbots were mainly supported or run by large stakeholders. Not sure how these large stakeholders think, b/c I am not one of them.

My recommendation is that if you feel uncomfortable or go against these bots, you should talk to the owners/operators of bots first.

This is a very similar method whales on Whaleshares used that brought down the price of WLS significantly. 
Freedomexists being a good example. 

What would happen is that you would sell your WLS for BTS, then use BTS to buy the "Whaletoken" on the market. You would send the whaletoken to the whale and he would upvote you for a higher amount of WLS then you spent. 
This created massive downward pressure on the price of WLS and one of the reasons Whaleshares is pretty much dead. 
SCT wont have such an effect but you can see what stuff like this does.
