It is not easy to say, bots are here and I suppose they will stay. Out with the old and in with the new @lyncoyle1

Personally I only call on bots when I have put days of effort into a post that I know should hopefully be a good read, that may be a maximum of once or twice per month.

Much like you I feel the bots are being abused for the most simplistic posts I have seen.

Many technically minded people, who do not blog are making some money, so I don't feel it is completely right to remove bots completely.
