Just to be clear: we may just decide to reduce (or even suppress) the steemstem support to those using any bot connected to a vote buying service. It is then up to the authors to decide what to do.
I've largely avoided vote buying bots since last fall, but I'm a huge fan of lifetime upvote services- I feel like they encourage more commitment to the steemit platform, and they tend to be better about weeding out bad actors than bid bots.
They are fine. Everything is actually fine.

Also, one thing I haven't said, proportions matter :)
