Thanks for being concerned my friend but i guess

Steemit Needs to Change

This is about going mainstream, is it not? To evolve as a community, Steemit needs to understand that there is no way that a mainstream audience will accept the use of bots, even if it's to relay important information. Most people will get annoyed, a lot of people will be confused, and others will just try and create more bots to see what sticks since there's an opportunity to make money. The last part is the scariest part, since the bots that have been created now are by contributing members of the community, some of which are just testing their ideas out... but imagine when fake hot blonde model starts coming to Steemit with her $10,000 check she made from working online last month, or Fat Ron selling his penis growth pills. We haven't even hit that hump yet! If you think it's bad now, it's only going to get worse.

This is why all bots need to go. Banned from all social aspects. A system needs to be in place to weed them out, without using other "social bots" to fight them off. If they are useful conceptually, then that's fine, and the idea should be submitted (hello, GitHub!) and eventually the idea can be added into Steemit.

The main point is: These bots can be used in other ways to help the website without getting involved socially—leave the social aspect to humanity to figure out. Let the bots work behind the scenes to help the users have a great experience.
