RE: Bots upvoting posts? An investigation
I have to disagree with the cheetah bot. Ultimately what's going to wind up happening is bots like cheetah will discourage legit posts from happening if a mob mentality forms based on misunderstanding. The bot is pretty harmless right now but as it grows in it's "power" more & more people will just look at it without actually reading into what it does and simply assume anytime they see it they're supposed to flag that post. Don't believe me, that's totally cool... but literally every single other social platform has already proven this to be the case. I 'm not saying cheetah isn't a good idea but I am saying it has potential to drive a huge fork in the community at some point in the near future.
