If you cant find a person I will take up the challenge. I am against bid bots, I get debate and I understand the pros of bidbots and the negatives. So I think I can argue somewhat convincingly the pros.

I will also say this is the internet so though the debate may do something. Clarity for all is smoke and mirrors lol. Perspective is too strange of a thing.

My position is that like Bitcoin will eventually be centralized by the miners. This system the way it is now will become centralized around the people taking the biggest chunk of the reward pool. These vote bots will take up bigger and bigger portions until those of us who have power and curate posts get no reward and are not able to give rewards really. So we admit defeat and sell our power to them, then once that happens this is a webpage full of advertisements and self promotion. I would have made much more money selling my power to minnow booster instead of taking time to upvote and curate manually like I have. So Steem aligns the investor, the user and the company since we all use the token. Crypto is speculative and most people are investors who want profits. Selling voting power is too enticing. If the few remaining unpaid votes get sad, and sell their votes too. The platform is not social media the way it was intended. Now that I say all this I can't argue against it, I don't know what hivemind is going to do and what SMT will do well enough and I think they might be key defenses to this argument. Unless they come out and they aren't.

I as an investor find value in bid bots though, since the SBD and promoted tab is broken.. it's the free market solution basically.. sadly.. advertising runs the world, it has even pushed the blockchain world forward is announcements and partnerships, paid shills and sponsored coindesk ads.. Naturally it will be all over on blockchains.
