I can control who I upvote and who I don't but when bot owners start controlling who can use their service, I mean yeah it's their right to do it's their bot, but were also starting to give a single person arbitrary control over who's allowed to promote their content on here and who's not. If I dislike someone I can now use that power to not let them use my bot? I can but is that right?
I just find it hypocritical and funny how people on here bitch and moan so much about other platforms cencosring people, promoting a certain type of content, and then they do the same stuff over here.
I also just wanted to point out that I think jerry is only a piece of this problem so many other people are doing the same thing, hot and trending are flooded with garbage, jerry just gets mentioned because he does this better than most others and has more power to do it to a bigger extent.
more power to them. the community i imagine could decide we dont want this platform using bots, i imagine a hard fork could be done and there goes there power and money.
my point is once we start allowing a single person to dictate who can get ahead and who cant its a slippery slope. what if i had some powerful friends on here and i said hey you know that @swelker101 guys eggplant on axe handles, that's fucking dumb, lets all downvote his stuff 100% or lets not let him use any of our bots, then it really sucks to be you.
basically what im trying to say is everyone came here bitching and moaning about how bad youtube is and i see many of those same people participating in the same type of shit youtube does but its okay because its them doing it and not a corporation.
You do.

Bot owners have every right to determine who can and can't use their service. It's their vested SP, not the community's.
