I conducted a poll and based on the small sample size most people seem to prefer allowing Steemit Inc to take beneficiaries or show ads. I made my own proposal which would allow Steemit to capture all those Bid bot revenue. But I have no idea about the difficulty of implementation: https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@vimukthi/steemit-improvement-proposal-cosmetic-upvote-feature-to-replace-bid-bots-and-fund-blockchain-development

I think the popular DAPPs will survive. What I'm sad about is SMT development being delayed. Bull market will easily fix the issue. But that might take some time.
