Cant say if thats a good or a bad thing. It could be better, it could be worse. I could be a hypocrite and say bots are bad for the platform when they are my main source of income here alongside Steem Monsters.....
But still... Things can get out of hand pretty fast with them.
Seeing Chbartist for example, on top trending every day makes me slightly nauseous.

A few things can probably be done to reduce the use/abuse.
