hi @transparencybot. Beforehand I decided to use bidbots to increase visibility to this post, so I could appear in the "trending page". The intention was to gain more exposure for me and for the participants, considering that this is not a shitpost. I feel that steemit has become a "bot gaming system" (see @davemccoy 's post) , so, we have to adapt and use the available means to survive. I suggest that "trending" and "hot" algorithm should be modified, so post with bid bots won't appear there. I agree with you that this situation affects the platfform in the long run, however there is not a practical solution yet, as I said before. I really appreciated your effort. Thanks
