Crap now I can't find the book mark I specifically saved because I knew whenever I referenced this, I would be asked to source it. I *want* to say it was on a massive page of either grumpycat or berniesanders posts last week (probably gcat) and was by either um, markymark, realwolf or abh12345 (a data mining witness) but then I think no, wait, it was on the timcliff dust vote removal post comment threads. Damn, I'll keep digging for the reference, it was pretty reputable, I just can't remember where it was now, I'm going to need it though, more and more probably, so hang on let me see if I can find it.

I remember the data was cited along with this guys reports. https://steemit.com/steemit/@maxg/bid-bot-usage-report-for-04222018 Which as the summary shows, doesn't even support 1 in 3 people using them for the more commonly cited 50-60K daily active users logging in. This all seems like one of those issues that takes people's focus off doing good on their own and gives them convenient scapegoats, arguments to spend time on and excuses for not building good businesses. While many people continue to do so, despite it all.

I just read this email. And it indeed states that only a very few Steemonians use the bid bots. However the total value of all bought upvotes can be easily calculated. And I did this and come to a percentage of 34% from the total upvote value being sold by bid bots. So I stick to my opinion and think this is a real threat for Steemit.
