I absolutely agree! In fact I think we talked a bit about this on one of his threads (which makes it easy to get lost.)

I'm with you in not being too negative about this, and that the site itself and the bots (I assume) will get better. I really don't have an issue with there being curator bots.

But you hit the nail on the head, the issue is that while we are in this in-between state of development, I find little motivation or value (from a minnows perspective) in an algorithm that is currently unable to factor in the content itself.

Hooray for the optimists! :)
