About the issue of bid bots actually. Majorily one of the uses that bid bots supposed to have is to help your content gained visibility and exposure. I.e if your post is of quality content. But also this bid bots also can't work without delegated steem power. The bid bots have now been misuse by many to promote low junk quality content up there.

I am not trying to defend the bid bots non am I trying to discriminate the bid bots but I am just trying to show both the good and bad side of it all.

This statement you said "The more we downvote what we perceive to be low quality content and clearly seeing that it has been bidded up the more we will make good curation even more effective" yea. Thus statement is also talking about how the bid bots are been misuse like I have stated earlier. Low quality contents are been bidded up even though they are not worth it, or let me say the quality is low. There are good quality contents still out there but lack exposure, and visibility and this can even make the authors to leave the community out of frustration because I once thought of quitting steemit out of frustration.

If the manual creation can be address, it I'll surely help the community, helps the author who are feeling frustrated due to low value on their high quality contents .

Like I said earlier, I amM just trying to share my viewonn it. Nothing more. My comments is welcome with some contributions
