Should Twitterbot be required to upvote?

twitterbot

So, I just had a reply from @twitterbot posting the contents of the tweet I linked to. That made me wonder how much Twitterbot has made from simply posting tweet contents so I checked it's wallet and its account is worth $190.

Given that twitterbot is taking a fraction of the rewards, do you think twitterbot (and other bots too) should it be required to upvote posts it replies to?

Sort:  

I think they should! I understand a bot is a bot at the end of the day but as for example twitter bot posts as soon as you mention a tweet the same he can vote as well. Why not?

Why not indeed! As it currently stands, it's basically a parasite, taking the rewards but not participating in anything else apart from bloating the blockchain with its "spam".

Hahaha i like they way you name it - "a parasite". But at the end of the day you are right all he does is spamming!
