Good analysis. Clearly you're deep in the bot game!
The big questions around bots that I have are:
1.) Will the whales recognize that bots generally are degrading quality on the platform and turn them off?
2.) Will the bots get so good at recognizing good posts that they become good for the platform?
Given your post, I'm guessing that your answer to 1 is no and 2 is yes?
Yes, that's my opinion @ntomaino
