I highly doubt dan capitulated to bid bots here, I'll talk to him when I get a chance to see what happened there but it's probably just a minor misunderstanding
With the possible exception of smooth, he's literally been hitting bid bots harder than anyone else with a large stake and I can't see him relenting any time soon
RE: Bad news for NewSteem // @theycallmedan seems to be changing his position on Bidbots
