A step on the way to us each having hundreds of bots managing our increasingly digital lives. Mining the last bit of value out of drudgery and grinding which will only have value until the last people quit.
When Splinterlands goes from a game to passive income to enough people, it's dead.
I have nothing against bots. Just realize that when there are no players left, there's no one to care about that passive dec enough to give it value. But then you can sell bots to players of some other game I guess.
