Yes bid-bots did suck, although I used the odcb one many times.. 😀.. I can't say I am unhappy at their general demise. I have many checks built into my own voter which I have never released to the public domain, and HIVE being what it is.., it crashes frequently, not to due to bugs, but bad connectivity to the the eco-system.
Getting enough worthy writers to be even added it to is is my problem. It frequently exhausts the entire white-list before my VP threshold is breached.
yeah, it hasn't been looking too great for new authors either, but it's nice to be able to offer a chance at curating to outsiders soon i think, hopefully we won't be too strict early on as we're also often spending our voting power on other things/burns/hbd.funder with the current state of things.
I do get some of my potentials from people you have followed recently! I am all for 'outsiders' if they provide value and don't generate what I terms as 'fluff' posts.
