I feel as though it's a big club and we aren't invited. Buying upvotes can't be worse than self-upvoting. In self-upvoting, you don't spend anything and you get all the rewards whereas with bidbots you mostly get your own steem back(not anymore I'm gonna lose heaps because of the flags) yet every single one of these flaggers not only self-upvote but also are in a big club and upvote each other and all the while play holier-than-thou when in reality they're just abusing the free flags in HF21+ to maximize their own rewards. I'm wrestling with myself but I think I'm gonna power down and leave since no one seems to wanna stand up to these bullies. If buying upvote is so bad, self-upvoting should be even worse and should be banned but even then people will work around it by creating tribes and upvoting each other which is technically the same as self-upvoting. If they were flagging shit and spam content, I'd sympathise and even join forces with them but flagging you just because you bought an upvote is unacceptable to me not to mention some of the flaggers buy upvote themselves and when I pointed the hypocrisy out to one of them, he defended himself by saying that he hasn't bought as much as me! Ridiculous...
