What you have is a market reaction.

The bidbots have allowed bullshit posts to be overly promoted.

I am not against the bidbots, but many are and frankly many of the bot owners have earned the bad reputation the bots currently have.

Create some standards or help deal with bad actors and the community will stop hating all the bots and focusing on your customers.

The community is tired of dealing with the lack of willingness to do curation and allow nearly all posts to be promoted.

It's a beautiful market response.
