While i am grateful for the vote that will multiply what my payout would have been for the week at least by a factor of two, i remember what curation rewards were before delegation and bidbots sucked them all up.

Were the bidbots to burn the money sent to them they would then benefit more than just their owners.
Doing that would benefit everybody holding steem!
The bidbot's owner would then be confirmed in his true love for the ecosystem having put the whole ahead of himself.
I would delegate to such a bot for my own self-interests.

I stopped voting for your owner's witness over his support of delegation and linear rewards.
That decision of his made reward pool rape a household name.
Does he still support that choice, or would he like to see 'good' content curated to the trending page rather than crap posts by folks willing to buy a trending placement?

Also does this reformation of the culture include supporting dissent and 'good' shit posting?

(I wont go into the peer pressure applied to folks that were supporting me, at this point.)
Then with delegated curation in place, they began taking from the value of what support i did get with their advantage in the math.
Remember, when a whale votes all other votes are decreased in value.
Its just a fact of the math.
Ergo, every time a votebot votes everybody else loses money.
This transfers wealth away from anybody that doesnt buy their rewards, you know, real people and not scammers.
When will the bot owners own their part of how that fact drives newbs away from steem and earns us a shitcoin reputation? I was sold on this place as a free speech zone, open to all, but the first thing those with control did was lock me out of @curie as undesirable.
