When bid bots receive a bid and give you a profitable vote, they and their delegators earn higher profits than honest curators which is unfair and undermines the EIP and content discovery.
From what I understand when a bidbot a sell votes the more profitable that vote is the less money the bot/delegators make. The more inconsiderate you are at downvoting bidbots buyers the more you make bidbots profitable for those that remains.
Why would earn more than honest curators? Bidbots respond with votes to clear text memos and vote with about a 2 hours lag, That's the worst thing to do to increase curation reward.
In the past and even more at the moment it's about twice more profitable to be a part of a self-vote circlejerk. BTW It's not very hard to pool 32 000$ worth of voting power and be on the upper end of the curation curve
