Note that I said using a bid bot to put things to Trending is grounds for downvoting and not because of using a bid bot in and of itself but because Trending is the most valuable piece of digital real estate on Steem and buying your spot there should be expensive. @ocdb is a distribution bot that has been available to whitelisted and curated authors only and that involves ongoing quality control. Under #newsteem, I've been using @ocdb very sparingly.
