Right, that is what I am saying - the ROI from bidbots is indeed H U G E and is actually greater than self voting. I am not blaming people for making the decision that is in their own financial self interest. I am just calling many of them hypocrites for pointing the finger at Haejin for self-voting his own content, when they were/are taking even more from the reward pool (relative to their SP stake) through delegation to bid bots. Delegating to a bid bot is functionally equivalent to self-voting, only it actually takes even more from the reward pool, and exposes you to no risks of flagging. Haejin is and always has been the easy scapegoat to distract people - it is easier to see his posts with large self votes and conceptualize the amounts, while the ROI from bidbot delegation is more or less invisible. But it still comes from the reward pool. And it adds nothing of value to the blockchain.
