agree! and for the record - i do a happy dance when i have a post that breaks $3. LOL People who are expecting more will live and learn. (or they will leave in a huff.) it IS hard work. and people who don't want to do the hard work look for the shortcuts. They want it now. This is the world we live in.

The thing is.... it doesn't matter WHAT we think of bots - because the bots are here and I highly doubt they're not gonna change that. (maybe i'm wrong!)

I think the biggest issue of all of this really comes down to people watching their own wallets and not everyone else's. Most people aren't mad until they start looking into what everyone else has and wondering why they're not making as much as the neighbor down the street.

maybe they work harder than you. maybe they write better than you. maybe they have a whale friend. maybe they're swindling it (sorry but the system DOES allow for this) maybe they work longer than you. maybe they invested their inheritance. WHO CARES. lololol

wanna get farther? work at it, and I bet you will.
