Great point about the @splinterlands bid-bot ROI being diminished with the new upgrade. I just put in the usual 2,000 DEC for my new post, and hadn't even thought of that. However, an important ADDITIONAL benefit of the $3-4 USD bid-bot vote ( at 2,000 DEC ) is that I always hit the trending page of #steemmonsters and/or #drugwars for my series posts, and that draws additional upvotes and followers. I guess we'll all need to experiment with the bid-bot to see if it remains feasible. Thanks for mentioning this important point...
