We have a rabid bid bot problem on this platform and you are one of the top witnesses here. Instead of lead by example and try and promote content without the use of bid bots you go the opposite direction and use over $300 to promote this post. Good enough reason to take my witness vote away. This is the type of behaviour that really detracts from the platform. I know its not just you doing it, I recently removed my Banfield witness vote for similar actions. This is both a user problem and a bot creator problem. Just joining in on the fun. The new users coming to the platform see this activity and learn that the only way to succeed here is through vote purchasing. We (the steem community) will never reach our full potential without certain restraints on bid bots, and you, as witness number 12 need to lead by example.
