I would just like to talk about how I've committed bid-bot abuse. I understand the problems that this puts on the community, and I feel rather bad about it. I feel like if I go out of my way to say sorry for this, then it will help me get a better mindset and (hopefully) never commit abuse again. Will I use bid bots? Probably. Will I use them on spam/steepshot/low quality posts? Absolutely not. I would only consider using them on something I put actual time into, and hope that the community will forgive my abuse.
