There are good and bad bots though you are fine if you still with the good bots, the bad bots drain your VP and hurt you and doesn't help anyone but the bot owner. It can be frustrating as a new person but as Dory says Just keep Swimming and you will get to where you are going
I agree. I'm not an advocate for any sort of malicious bots. Really, all I'm getting at is that a bot is the reason I've been more persistent and willing to continue here, in case that info is useful to someone.
