Yeah while it's true bot owners own their bots and can choose who and who not to do business with but at the same time when bots have a lot of power on steemit to determine who's posts earn money and who's posts get attention by blocking someone from using bots your in a sense stopping them from being able to earn money and stopping them from being able to be seen. While they may not own or be in control of steemit they are doing the exact same thing to those creators that youtube does to creators when they demonetize them or when they hide their videos.

I guess it begs the question ultimately who gets to decide who's content is worthy, who's views are acceptible, etc. I really don't like it when I see people banding together in groups to go against someone else who they disagree with or dislike
