I haven't logged into Steem for ages, and when I came back I saw all of this commotion about #newsteem.

I jetted over to the bidbot page only to see crickets!

They milked the system hard and it did serve a purpose, but for them, all good things do eventually come to an end.

I am sure these guys made crap tons of money for all the months that bidbots were cashing in. It was all automated too so they got to sit on their duffs and watch the dough roll in.

I do hope that steemit can rise out of the muck, it is a pretty cool platform. But so many things are too complicated for mainstream.
