Just read the article now. Seen this:
I don't think that's true. We do have bots. Some even advertise themselves as bots (@hn, @unpaywall) while other bots just paste AI generated content or pretend to not copy content from other sites (and attribute the OP) like @hn does.
It's just maybe not as big of a problem like on other sites. Because of the cost to eliminate spam, as you mentioned.
btw, I created @hn before I joined SN. I never would have believed that @hn would stack 150k sats in 7 months. I thought I would lose money, lol
