@ocdb is no ordinary bid bot. It's a non-profit bot whose purpose is not promotion but help a subset Steem authors curated by @ocd to grow faster. It's not a business for the bot operators at all like every other bid bot in existence. I've never used any of the other bid bots because I've never had such important things to say that I would've been willing to pay money to get my post to Trending for the attention.

I won't stop using @ocdb because of making a loss in this case because I know it was fully unintentional on part of the bot operators.
