RE: I might be a nobody on Steemit, but you could become aswell...
Great post mate, I wish the EIP would have been brought into effect much earlier. I hope the damage bid bots have done over the years, ocdb included even though it was there to mitigate the rest of the abuse, will be able to be repaired. We've started repairing it and for once trending doesn't look as shit anymore and people are curating again, even if some are forced to do so, it's better than the alternative.
The time to sell profitable votes just to get your and your delegators ROI are over, not saying there is no business for bid bots once steem pumps and we have 10x more users that want to promote their stuff at a cost but what they are doing now is just pointless and costing the whole ecosystem. Thankfully we have downvote power now to regulate ourselves. Let's see what the future holds. :)
Thank you. Been wanting to get this thing out of my system for some time. It was one of the reason I had to take a break from Steemit.
I appreciate the work from OCDB and other former bidbots who are turning good again. If we could enter a new era on the platform where there would be no ROI for bid bots I would be happy as hell. I think it's very likely and I think we just need to stand together and do exactly what OCDB does now. Some think it doesn't matter but it really does!
