When someone uses bid bots to promote their post, they are essentially taking money from every other user on the platform. So please, use bid bots wisely and appropriately.

This is a great initiative.

I am proud to say that I have never used a bid once and have always sat on the fence as to whether or not they are detrimental to the experience of the users.

Financially, the bid bots will always win and this win will always come at the expense of the users.

The System is the System and that is why I have sat on the fence as to whether or not bid bots bring any added value, however I strongly agree with what you say and that they should be used wisely and appropriately.

I have lost count with the number of new users that I have introduced to the Steem Community only to have them call me up to explain why some content has had huge payouts distorting the experience for new users to the Community who are not familiar with the bid bots.

Good luck with the initiative.
