Stealing money? That is exactly what you were doing to the reward pool with your bid bot abuse. Just because you can pay for upvotes on content that adds NO value does not mean you should. I hope you have learned your lesson and we can work together henceforth.

Maybe I'll sketch the situation. This is not my first account. I created the first account on my name, - I run a small business in a small country, I wanted to describe my thoughts on this business in the blog, describe my city and its rich history. I wrote the first entry and guess what? 8 views and 2 upvotes by bots (the blog may not have been the best - I'm not native english but I think that over time I would learn and become more valuable). I thought it was not worth investing my time, it was not even about money - it's just that nobody reads it.
So in order to "play" and learn to promote I created the current account. I decided to try voting bot and discovered that some produce even positive ROI - some negative but at the end ROI is between -10% ROI to + 5% ROI. I thought it was a fair risk for promotions and once I have more readers I will be able to start writing valuable things. So, I've created some threads just for try. I bought steem for my money (around $ 120). And then @grumpycat @madpuppy fllag attack me with fury, I lost about 30 $ through them.
Why @grumpycat @madpuppy does not attack whales only small consumers of bit bots service? Like @ z8teyb289qav9z who earns about $ 300 on his post and gives people $ 30 as a upvote. This is a huge return.
We all probably want the stieemit to grow. For do this we need new people who will be browsing it every day like twitter or fackebook. To do this, we need not only good quality, but also DIFFERENT quality.
When I was attacked, I felt that a steemiet is an environment of mutual adoration which rules money. People who have the most in the wallet decide what is valuable and what is not? This is not a democracy, it is an oligarch and it is much worse than a few spammers.
Well, the entire system is based on Stake Weighted Voting, so yeah, it is totally up to those with stake to decide what is valuable.
I don't claim that is going well. If you don't like the idea of money rules, this might be one of the worst projects to be a part of.
