It is "My Opinion" that you are wrong.
It is also "My Opinion" that without the bid bots. There is ZERO reason for anyone to join this platform.
As it stands right now. In order to make any sort of money on the platform. You have to have a whale in your pocket, a la Haejin. Which is something that is out of the question for many new users.
However, now with the bots, new users have the ability to upvote their posts, make some money and gain visibility.
I would also like to point out that mathematically speaking. If someone is bid botting their content. And that content is shit. Then in the long run. They will not make money. No one is gonna follow shit posts or vote for them. Meaning that eventually the problem will solve itself.
If you could come up with a solution that solves the problem I'll be all ears. But until that time the bots are the best thing for the platform. Until whales get up and start helping the minnows gain traction.
With your opinion it is zero reason for me and others to spend time on it.

Well. It's not all a shit show right? There are some good things about this platform. Worth being here to enjoy.
I think that the bid bot issue can be a problem if someone abuses the bots. If someone is making ten posts a day and bid botting all of the posts. Then yeah. That's clearly abuse. There's a problem with that.
But if people make a post or two a day and use bid bots to upvote. Is that really a problem?
What are your thoughts on that?
