Yes, he used bidbots on multiple posts including this one with buildawhale, but the post that was selected for downvoing, the "bot" used was resteemyou which IS in the list from steembottracker, but it really is not a full blown bid bot.
He (or someone) did pay to have these voters resteem and VOTE on his post, so bots where used to vote up the post. These are the facts.
But I have taken all resteemers off the list. Paying to resteem is not an issue, but these resteemers now vote up your post with 50 some small accounts. So they absolutely are paid voters, but much smaller.
The bot did not make a mistake, it just had the filter lower than it should have. I have moved that up to $50.00 just like the comments.
I really do not want to punish, there is plenty of that type of abuse on the platform. This bots purpose is to help protect all of us who do not use bidbots from this theft of rewards by creating a program of education and information on all posts that have chosen to use bots.
I have taken him off the list just the same. I do believe this is compassion and compensation, since this post alone would probably be selected for downvoting by the bot if he was not removed from the list.
It is a complex and passionate subject. All we can do is follow our hearts.
Vote for witness @nextgencrypto!

Ok, thanks.
We can only do what we think is right.
Im glad that you persist.
If you look at penguin pablos stats, bot votes are a third of what they used to be, so, we are winning.

1/3 only because SBD is dropping, we are not winning, it is all being lost.
