Nope, if the bot votes on others it's fine.

The reward pool isn't the value of the platform. The quality of the content and how appropriately it is rewarded is where the value of the platform comes from. There's 100's of thousands of Dollars that can be spread out better to the content creators. $100,000 worth of self-votes is a good place to start reallocating those rewards to people that make the platform valuable.

how does a robot determine the quality of the comment when
a...it doesn't even read the post (no view)
b...it is incapable of judging quality to begin with.

Yes that's a big problem too, but there are also people not reading posts and upvote. Even if the post already has 100+ votes and $100+.

But botting is still way less bad than self-voting.

I don't agree

Well, at least you're passionate about fixing problems. That's good.
