Buildawhale and booster have always been the shadiest bid bots to use.
If you want to use ethical bid bots that don't rob you, i would suggest using bots that cap losses, capping the potential loss means they have an ethical mindset.
Also you may want to try a new bot that I think is leading the way forward and they are called, @tipu they give a guaranteed 100 percent bid, based on your payment. You can tip yourself or tip posts you like.
Thanks for the tips... :) But that doesn’t remove any of the non-sense that I talked about... if they are shady, how they continue operating and stealing people without any problem, and even being voted as witnesses?
Good question, maybe @yabapmatt could add a rating system to his excellent steembottracker.com website, that would help to weed out the bad actors.
Bid bots are like the Wild West and some are taking advantage of that.
