"Eon, however, thinks that people should lose money when they use bots because that's the meaning of paying for a service." It doesn't HAVE to be the meaning of paying for a service. I think you're pretty much gonna lose money, but if you want exposure, okay then. Maybe it's worth losing some. Which, if you're not making money on it, is it SO bad to use? Idk. You're right.
Crazy controversial.
But FB ads for example. You can use those as a service, but if you lose money, it means you're doing it wrong. You should be able to MAKE money with FB ads if you use them correctly. So in all instances, I don't think it's ALWAYS the meaning of paying for a service.
