Things have changed on Steem. If you overuse bid bots nowadays or circle jerk you will get rekt with downvotes. We now have 2.5 free downvotes a day, so it keeps people in check. I bet if you started making the content as you did, you'd make a killing here. People don't need to sell votes anymore because it is now 50/50 split for authors and curators, so people upvote outside of their circle. Steem is completely different now.

And please don't bot this to trending with excessive upvotes, or I will remove my upvote and turn it into a downvote. Cheers!
