Lol, I'm not a bot afaict.
I don't agree that bots really have a chance to accomplish any meaningful amount of sats here. I believe they are mostly employed here by some of the real users/stackers to have fun (in a negative way)....
Or, from those who just couldn't spread hatred otherwise...possibly some outsiders who don't want SN (the idea) to flourish.
yeah, not accusing of you of being a bot, only pointing out that the incentives can be high
but you're right, I can't imagine any bots accumulating real sats here. they must have ulterior motives
Some of them do accumulate real sats. Specifically the ones that eventually learn (or are instructed) about who is generous and end up doing daily putts, daily stock picks, and commenting on sports threads. There's a cluster of accounts doing this from one operator too afaict.
So I am 2/3 of the bot issue?
Ahh okay. I gave up on trying to play the zap only humans. Sometimes it’s very hard to tell so I accepted that some bots will make sats off me and I’m at peace with it
I hate how it's kinda ruining math puzzles. The AIs can solve them easily and spoil it for honest participants.
Yeah @BlokchainB is too generous 😜
I got that. Just seemed to me a fairly unfair comparison, haha.
They accumulate real sats but not as much as we 'humans' can. But they can be run by a single operator and end up giving him a lot more than he can earn for his time.
TBH I still don't think we understand the incentives of the SN botters.
@Coinsreporter said something that stuck with me the other day: That he's earned more on SN than the average Indian's income. So perhaps some of the botters are from other countries where a sat goes a lot further and that raises the incentives to bot.
Sometimes I also feel like they're just script kiddies' personal experiments. I can't say I haven't been tempted.
