I see the use of many bots

those actually should have (and I believe they have) declined with HF20.
here are some good news:

Were it only for HF20 I'd actually answer your title with yes because the RC situation is so unbelievably worse for new users. (see my other upcoming comment @swingtrades)
BUT
SMTs are coming in march and they will deliver huge changes.

So

not filling up with trash post I usually use the #steepshot to publish photos but when I really try to make a post I give the best of myself and I try to create creative, informative content that attracts the attention of users and communities.

Keep it on :)!
