I'm torn on the bot issue. I see the merits to getting rid of them but at the same time it is super frustrating putting several hours into a web dev tutorial post and making peanuts compared to what some of the very early adopters are making. I put a couple days into a post and made around $40 and a guy who posts a funny Bitcoin meme makes $80 because he's been here longer and uses bots.
