Prices aside, the way steemit.com, steemd.com and later steemblockexplorer.com too work, they deserve no loyalty.
This brings me to ask you too about it: bittrex does not want me, blocktrades does not work for me and bitshares and bisq did not even let me register.
poloniex is not worth to try, and recently blocktrades and bittrex joined their wallet freezing pattern.
binance I am glad I did not try.
How is this GoPAX and honestly I do prefer a decentralized exchange.
I want no hard fiat exit, just convert my STEEM into a more sustainable currency.
Any recommendations about exchanges, decentralized exchanges in particular?

And to your topic, the bidbots, which I am not opposed to, make STEEM price much less relevant.
There is no problem for the miniature users to break the 0.02$ barrier like it used to be when I joined and a few months after.
Now even if they will restore the quadratic rewards, which I am opposed to, I believe active users will continue to grow the fastest.
