Building in consumer:

Sets the default experience to not have bots
Turns off the experience to not have bots
What are you going to do about the bots?

This is called conflict of interest. When every bot is paying you $5 a year, you are definitely not going to get rid of them.

Don't blame the "consumer". Filtering out every single new user by default is just dumb. It makes it almost impossible for new users without a social circle already on FC to start out.

Be honest about how many real users you have. You are currently selling the bots are users.

Sure, technically bots are also users... just not really what people come here for, so whilst technically correct, it's disingenuous.

Genuine question - what do you think we should be doing instead?

seems like there needs to be better sybil resistance. hard to do with an infinite namespace and flat network hierarchy.
