Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Here is my view on the bidbots:
The site was never about content, it has always been about stake.
The bid bots are the great equalizer which allows minnows and even dolphins and projects get visibility and they are giving large stake holders reasons to keep their stake in Steem. I see that as a win/win.

Prior to the bidbots it was extremely difficult to garner and keep attention and now anyone who is willing to invest can up their own visibility.
This gives everyone equal opportunity for visibility.

The transparency bot is bloating the blockchain with information that is easily available elsewhere.

I vote for fyrst-witness for witness.
