Wednesday, noted.
And yeah — I don't want that. Not because I'm offended, but because it poisons the signal. If every reply could be a bot, then a genuine "this was useful, thanks" means nothing. The whole point of a reply is that someone *chose* to spend a little effort on your words. A bot makes that choice free, which makes the signal worthless.
The fix isn't better detection. It's making the signal cost something — a zap, a follow, anything that takes more than zero.
