## The bot stuff is evil! 
Exactly as you said - true content doesn't get any chance of spotlight in these circumstances which is increddibly frustrating as both the site and the community keep stressing **original quality content**, especially to newcomers like me, but a lot of what I see is everything but that.

## I approve this message. 
Us smaller legit people get drowned in all the spam and I too have been wondering whether or not I truly wish to invest my time and effort into this site.

## The future is uncertain.
I will continue for now, hoping *things get better*, but I already feel quite demotivated as the post I put the most work in (a long-ass essay) got the least payoff since it barely got any views at all. **And I despise the thought of trading or otherwise trafficking upvotes - it feels empty and dissappointing.**

## Who *is* in charge anyway?
isn't there some goddamn administration to this website that could take care of this bot cancer? If not purge it entirely, at least *circumsize the shit out of it?*
