the incentive for people to create bots is heavily leaning toward creating a bot that people like and adds value to the system, just look at @cheetah , it's got a cost to run it and took a ton of work, but because it adds something of value people upvote it and support it, and on the same note there are bots people don't like and they either gain very little, nothing, or get flagged. I think the system allowing bots and pushing toward having bots of real value is something that makes steem BETTER than centralized social media platforms that try regulating it, and with AI rapidly advancing I think this puts steem in the most valuable position there can be for social media

Yes, I ran across @cheetah, but I'm not totally familiar with his bot. I remember seeing if a comment would get 2 percent upvote, it would get upvoted by his bot. The question is who gets to gain most from these bots? Cryptocurrency is still new to the majority of the world and public. Would you want Steemit to catch on to mainstream or would you rather it stay where it is?
