I’ve never really used bots, and only started programming them, for fun, in the last few months. A good friend of mine has emphasized to me that the onus for preventing botting is on a project’s developer. I’m starting to believe that. I’m by no means a master coder but I know my way around Python, Java, and C#. If you try, you can make a bot. It’s really just a function of calling an API and recurrently or periodically issuing a command. You can even make your bot simulate mouse movement or operate on a cryptographically determined RNG to minimize the risk of anti-botting system detection. Learn Node.Js, deploy your bots to a server, and you can even make a botnet. The learning curve is pretty low. Does this mean I support botting? Not exactly. That said, I’ve come to realize, over the last several months, that the tech space, and the web-3 space more specifically, is amoral. Remember that amorality does not mean that something is immoral. Immorality actually refers to a social structure in which morality exists. Amorality is actually a state of affairs in which no morality exists in a social space. I’m involved in a lot of projects and many of them have ethics. Most don’t. In the context of these amoral voids, I’m going to start botting every single project I own assets for that is amoral until I can sell their shit in the bull.
