I gave bots a try over the last week and had mixed results. I suspect that Bots become better the longer you are active on here and the more money you can spend on them, but let us put that to the side.
Overall, I am not fond of Bots existing because I feel like they have an unhealthy effect on the community. I don't want to go through my entire train of thought, but I feel like Bots existing diminish the quality of overall postings and demotivate people to leave comments which hurts the whole aspect of forming a community.
I also dislike the rhetoric behind bots. They make it sound like they are here to help, but in the end, they are just made for free passive profit. While not something I am against by default, I just dislike the way it is delivered.
Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts @paparodin.
You make some good points which I'm sure will help others who happen upon this post to better form their own judgements and opinions on the matter.
Enjoy the rest of your day my friend. :)
It's 23:20, so my day is pretty much over at this point.
It is an interesting topic, especially for new people around here. Discussion on it should be encouraged, I am thrilled to see where this is going in the near future.
:) Have a great nights sleep then my friend and thanks again for adding your voice to the discussion. It definitely is a area of our little decentralised community that needs more focus, consideration and resolution as soon as possible.
