Do you write just for yourself? If you're expecting people to read your articles, then you should rather try to build up a community around you that is actually interested in your work - and not just jumps into your blog posts because you've bought the trending position.
The attention you buy via bid bots may boost you to the front, increase your visibility and help you to artificially inflate your followers count, but that's all. Just answer yourself how many people (human beings) have really been engaging with your content over time. How many real conversations did you have here? Or do people just read the headline of your article and then invent themselves a comment that appears to fit with the rest...?
Excessive vote buying and community building are mutually exclusive.
As someone who loves writing you may appreciate having a real audience...
