I am using the broad definition of bots to include large numbers of accounts controlled by small groups of people to influence online discourse.

Between those bots (for nefarious, mundane, or marketing reasons) and previous attempts at automated bots, “broad” internet discourse was already ruined. Now people recognize it. This will have the effect of pushing communities back to smaller sizes, I think this is a good thing.

People shouldn’t have trusted all the things they read online from untrusted sources in the first place.
