this can be applied to the economy too
Anyone who says a social network wants bots is deeply mistaken. Human interaction is already scarce on social networks, since most people are passive consumers.
Bots displace this scarce resource:
Each bot reply means one human reply is not seen or engaged with by another human.
It’s nearly a 1-to-1 drop in product & business value—and likely has much bigger compounding losses when you account for people churning out of frustration.

The magatards dragged me for this comment for weeks, but sadly: it’s true.
I love this country—and the best thing an executive at a social network can do is communicate when attempts are made to manipulate public discourse.
