Probably we should say thanks to these guys for our Trending.
In this case they made 95% of payout
They make our Trending Page, they decide for all the Steemians, which of the contributions bring the most value to the community. Unfortunately, real human votes are no longer needed to determine the value of content.
Actually, my current stance on bid bots is neutral. But I find it odd when someone who fuels the pay for exposure economy bemoans it's inevitable consequences.
BTW, this analysis here may interest you. According to this estimation, roughly one sixth of the daily reward pool is currently allocated by bid bots.
I would understand if this meme was placed by some of the newcomers as a sign of utter despondency and disappointment.
But on the part of the bid-bot owner and Steemit delegate, who has a reputation and a rather large SteemPower, it looks at best as a recognition of his own helplessness / unwillingness to do something, and at worst - as a mockery of all Steemians. IMO
I would exclude the worst case assumption, but otherwise, I remain puzzled over the intent of this post.
Absolutely. I'd say the message is self evident, like the author trying to pull a Marcel Duchamp. And I'd call it art too if it weren't for the blatant mocking of Steemit users. I'm try to learn from those things a lesson about whales toxicity
