People complaining about the bot are worse than the bot itself. Every comment thread or post about it (probably including this one) inevitably turns into people debating the bot’s usefulness.

If you’re someone who hates the bot, do what everyone has already said 10 trillion times: block it.

All the comment threads and posts by users wanting to “take it down” solve nothing. Just stop. It’s so irritating having to scroll past millions of comments of the same tired debate.

          Blocking it does not stop it’s misinformation. I’m not opposed to bots or it’s layout in a comment. I’m opposed to having a blatantly biased source masquerading as an unbiased gatekeeper of credibility. You cannot block that.

          If I want to have the same conversation with ten different people that’s my problem. I’m not going to find ten different ways to say the same thing. If you want to avoid this then people shouldn’t make top level comments that have the same message either. It’s pretty hypocritical to say they’re allowed to do that but I’m not allowed to respond to them in separate threads.
