So it's okay if you use a bidbot but if others do it's not?

Downvote Everything In Trending That Got There Because Of Paid Upvotes And Find And Resteem Great Posts To Be Upvoted There
Note that I said using a bid bot to put things to Trending is grounds for downvoting and not because of using a bid bot in and of itself but because Trending is the most valuable piece of digital real estate on Steem and buying your spot there should be expensive. @ocdb is a distribution bot that has been available to whitelisted and curated authors only and that involves ongoing quality control. Under #newsteem, I've been using @ocdb very sparingly.

Still sounds very hypocritical to me. The mob rule in the new steem is a lot more disturbing thanks to free flags. Won't be surprised if price tanks to new ATL again. Already considering powering down and selling myself. Thanks for your hypocritical flag on my post anyway.

I remember you now. You posted this post on LTC/BTC and bid botted it to Trending a few days ago and it got downvoted by a lot of users. You think that is mob rule? When you buy between 60 and 100 dollars worth of votes from bots to give you visibility in Trending, you can expect people to downvote your post. Do you really believe it should be free or even profitable to buy yourself visibility in Trending? If you think that's mob rule and the end of Steem, then go ahead, power down and leave. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Yes it's mob rule and you know it very well. If you don't wait for it. Millions of steem invested in bidbots will get dumped on you maybe then you'll realize how mob rule destroys any economy. Esp. hypocritical mob rule like this one in which you not only self-vote but also buy votes yourself.

Steem has stake-based voting. It's rule by owners and you should know it. If you don't already know the difference between rule by owners and mob rule, I can't help you.
Yes, I self vote every post I make, which is maybe 1-2 times a day but so does pretty much everyone else. 80-90% of my voting power is used to vote on other people's content. I only use @ocdb, a non-profit distribution bot, the very purpose of which is to distribute stake from time to time but only using small bids and a couple of times per week. I stay out of Trending under #newsteem because I'm self-aware enough to know that my work has no place in Trending and I have no need to pay for advertising anything. You bid bot an average quality post to $100 and Trending a week after the inception of #newsteem. They you cry bloody murder when it gets downvoted to $60. Have you no awareness of what has been going on here in the past few weeks?
Your prediction that the stake invested in bid bots will be dumped does not seem to be realizing. Bid bots seem to be on their way to becoming curation projects. @smartsteem is a prime example. It's been doing a lot of manual voting lately. Under the new rules, that is more profitable than ever. Delegators to @smartsteem get their profit from curation rewards gained by the account. @ocdb has been manually curating as well.

stake-based voting = buying votes lol. You're the one who's against the made-up rules not me. Hence the mob rule... and what's empowering this mob rule behavior is the non-stake-based free downvotes. You keep contradicting yourself which is expected behavior in any mob.

Stake-based voting is also the community deciding that your mediocre post bid botted to Trending and less than a week from drawing $100 worth of STEEM from the pool wasn't worthy of it. Now you bitch by stringing along words in a diarrhea that makes no sense.
