Totally got it and support your point of view!

I believe bid bots are completely against the decentralized belief. I'd like to quote a tweed from Dan Larimer to underline that:

It's definitely a design problem in first instance. Apparently we accept that there is no economical circle anymore - like the one that was designed when Steem was launched. Now money just flows into one direction - from the bottom to the top. Bid bots are not designed to support minnows, they're designed to take away their money.

I'm pretty curious if SMTs will be able to fix these fundamental issues.
