As ollie said in some other comment bots have valuable uses, but they are being used almost exclusively for profit only which is a bad thing. An example of a bot that is beneficial for the platform is one that goes through now stuff with SP equivalent to new user and upvotes if a post has original pictures and not stolen content to help human curators (as cheetah bots do, but upgraded for helping human curators only). Currents bots, in fact, follow each other I saw one guy that has 20 bots and they follow first one, and each of those bots has at least 400 STEEM which is way more than an average user. Even worse thing is that we follow them with a hope of getting money. Many times I said this would be a beautiful platform if there wasn't money incentive and removing curation rewards may help it.
