From the looks of it, you may have missed the point in the quote referenced. I was pointing out a fact, yet I continue to do my mission of preventing spammers from abusing my bot even though it harms profit and my time.
The rest of the context is important to the message.
If you think I encourage or ignore spam, you really haven't paid attention to me. Which is perfectly fine, but you probably haven't noticed I put a blacklist update out every day or two, I have almost 3,500 users on the blacklist, all researched and verified manually by me. I offer this list to other bots, SteemCleaners, and curators.
It is available right here on GitHub
I would suggest to whitelist the good content creators than blacklisting the spammers. I don't know, but I don't think there are 3500 quality content creators who want to use bid bot service, but I know there would be more than 10,000 spammers, and they can always make a new account.
It would take less time to manually select the good content creators than to judge whether a person is a spammer or not.
Recently @minnowbooster applied this process, though not to a complete extent.
But of course, bid bot business will hurt badly if this process is applied, just saying!

Appreciate it, do you review the posts of the users who bid big, like 40-50 sbd/steem or more, or is there a cap for maximum bid?

The whitelist is currently only for the direct votes, but not for the bid-bot. Manual reviewing the bids takes a lot of time - but I personally unvoted over 40 posts from one abuse ring.

I can't even praise @themarkymark for being a responsible bot owner while letting him know he's hijacking the conversation with his $3.80 upvote on a comment that's now irrelevant after my edit.
@Wackou's SP is still being used for indiscriminate censorship via @Drakos via @the-resistance's bot made by @r351574nc3

Yeah. I can predict you would edit it. It was unclear so I spoke up. It was voted up so your

I could have equally told you to remove your vote after the clarification and waited but I know you're a big boy and wouldn't make a fuss about it.

The bot does discriminate - every identical spam comment left after you indiscriminately flag a post, is flagged. Result is that any indiscrimnate element is introduced by your own action.
Flagging spam does not qualify as censorship.
Flagging all posts that use a promotional service that you happen to disagree with, is censorship. It is the same as removing a journalist's salary and burning his articles, all copies of TIME magazine on the book shelves, because he published an article in TIME Magazine, and you disagree with TIME magazine.

That was added later and it has nothing to do with my witness. I work in the security field and don’t have tolerance of spam and it is just what needs to be done so this place doesn’t become worthless. Everyone is free to their opinions though.
I agree with not trusting though money changes people or amplifies their true nature.
