I believe the bid bots usage leads to a distorted trending for the whole steem network and goes totally against the end goal

that's true. but why 'trending page' means so much to everyone.

it's like choosing between:

  1. no bots, trending page dominated by whales (still it will be messy0, smaller players giving up
  2. small players can use bots to have chance to build their reach, messy trening page

our goal should not make it even harder for beginners. i managed to build some audience but i see other people struggling and many of them give up already

i hear that. i get more for a single art, with no words, than i do for my 3-4000 words.

why put in a stack of effort, adn get nothing, except a headache from looking at the screen for 4 hrs, typing?

from what i understand it is someone trying to hang himself - someone stop him!
