I share the same opinion with you @nonameslefttouse on bidbots.

I joined last July and there were no bidbots and Steemit was awesome and i would feel good when people interact with my posts!

The actual feeling of being "rewarded" goes far beyond money and many of these people are being robbed of that experience. That experience existed at one time, before bidbots, and I know that because I was here enjoying it. I witnessed the negative anti-social impact of these bidbots since their inception and every step along the way.

I could really feel rewarded for my content and btw its an awesome experience,however little the money besides the post was.

You could know a real human being read,upvoted and commented on your post,i felt encouraged.

The actual feeling if being rewarded is really now being missed by the new people as you say.

Its really rewarding to start from zero and grow on Steemit,make 10 posts and earn a combined zero,work harder and earn as you grow on the platform!

That took hard work and dedication to maintain but many of these other members are not being afforded the same opportunities and ladder to climb. Many got duped into thinking this place was about easy money, they seem to think all they have to do is post and purchase their rewards to win, and they don't even give themselves a chance to learn about how hard work and dedication is a requirement if one wishes to succeed here

I have a challenge with the new people i bring to Steemit in Uganda(i am a Steemit promoter).

Whenever i tell them of the organic way of growth of commenting and starting small,most of them do not want to believe.

In fact am shocked when many ask me about Bid-Bots! I tell them to try as much as possible to grow organically as it is more rewarding than getting votes on a post which are all bidbots!

Anyway many people here are for the money(which is okay),but to me and may be others,we feel happpy when real people read and comment on our posts.

I also like the idea of 50/50 payment....it will make more people start reading and discovering more great content.
