- yeah they arent complaining about specific bot activity, its bots existence in general. someone is sloppily pushing a narrative
- Never happen. SEO is a billion dollar industry
Bad bots, bad bots whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
- Bad bots, bad bots whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when they captcha you?

At some point in the near future social media will be chatbots all the way down.

- And the ISP companies complain about how they “couldn’t handle the additional bandwidth” of things like streaming services as they became more popular - at least not without charging everyone more. Come to find out it’s bots consuming the bandwidth. But hey, why waste an opportunity to profit.
  
  They'd complain even if there was literally nothing to point at. Why waste an opportunity to profit?
- That's a remarkably terrible Wikipedia article
  
  Probably entirely fabricated by bots. /s
  
  I watched a video a while back.. I couldn't find it. It was much better than the wiki.

Who's a bad bot?
