Thanks for clearing up some of my questions. The current talk seems a tad confusing and spent a few hours going through various posts from different authors with a range of opinions.

At first felt unsettling but after some research it seems this is for the greater good and is in fact more positive than negative.

I think getting rid of bid bots is probably a good thing.

I have also just been trying to take advantage of the current low price of steem and putting every spare penny and some not so spare into getting as much sale price steem as I can.

Either way I am in and going nowhere. I love our community and believe in @steemit. 😊
