Flagging this post because I've seen plenty of links to it spammed on completely unrelated posts. IMO, these bots are not providing value to the ecosystem and, it appears, the community is responding positively to attempts such as the reputation system to remove these "problems." If you want to provide value, then provide it. There's no reason to give people false dichotomies or A/B choices. Most of the bots (other than Cheetah) do not appear to be providing real value right now.
