Why do we need to identify and ban those in the first place?. When I used Twitter I never thought "oh man, these spam bots are ruining my twitter experience". It was more like "Oh, another bot is following me". Didn't waste more than 2 seconds of my day.

The bots are manipulating the trending topics which means they're driving the kinds of conversations happening on twitter.
