My chief concern on this venture is the bottom line. Will this new initiative provide the deserves respect within the SteemIt community to make @MinnowBooster a more marketed product in the space or will it alienate users from using Minnow Booster, if say, someone doesn't get whitelisted and rages over their status.

It is quite noble of you to introduce such a revolutionary mechanism to evaluate user contribution and post quality, however nobility and bold action aren't tradable on the markets.

Due to the profitability to run Bid Bots, the space is conflated with them in a manner that reduces visibility for Minnow Boosters. I have spoken with minnows who have never heard of MB and never understood that there was a superior service on the chain. Combating the damaging effects Bid Bots have on the chain goes beyond abusers.

Regardless, it is admirable for MB to boldly place character above profits and take an aggressive step towards the prosperous direction for SteemIt. This touts the continued mission of MB of providing superior services to minnows, boosting minnows (God awful pun intended), and maximizing the future of the blockchain.
