I think Hive account@abh12345 asked a valid question in What if all users delegated to bidbots? I don't think the response you gave to the question was adequate.

Since I run and develop Smartsteem.com - I'm in charge of a big stakeholder bid-bot & promotion service and I'm open to hear your feedback of what needs to change and possible solutions!

It seems that there is an extreme unwillingness for the owners/delegators/operators of bidbots to actually engage with any part of the community who sees what they are doing as harmful for the larger community. None seem to want to actually explore let alone find a solution because it is going to likely cost them profits.

When people do not respond it means they are unwilling to take responsibility for their actions which in this case likely means they know the harmful nature and their claims are nonsense.

There has been a mountain of data showing the harmful nature of bidbots, where is the data showing their value to the community? This is blockkchain and you guys are experts, rather than make claims, show proof. I am open to be convinced to the benevolent nature of bidbots once all the numbers are added up.
