RE: Curation Bot’s - Race to the bottom - The Impending BOT Armageddon!!!

Now that there are a whole lot of people joining, do we need the bots at all for curation? Or will they be kept around because they make money.... is there anything stopping everyone from creating a bot? Would the experience be better with or without bots?

Sort:  

That's a lot of questions.. :)

  1. Bot's can provide an important service, and have been (indexing). With the site developing (Following lists...etc), they need to evolve to continue to be 'useful'
  2. Nothing stopping anyone at the moment. as they get more complex, it will become more difficult for the average user to replicate the intricacies of the 'black box bot's..'
  3. The experience will be better with bots in my opinion. It'll just take time for them to become as useful as they can be...
