On both Reddit and Voat there are bots for numerous things. Reddit has many and voat seems to only have one.
Do you like bots? Did you find them helpful or annoying?
I have to say I was pretty indifferent to them.
The number of bots of Reddit is a bit much. Although I have to admit I rarely visit that site or voat anymore. The bot on voat was fine to me but I had a small issue with the bot being issued on the persons main account. To me your bot should be separate from your main account.

I can't speak for the Admins, but I think bots would be viewed as 'neat' if they were open about it, and did something helpful/interesting.
A few bots for a few things, is no problem. But the way it has gotten out of hand on Eddit is too much.
The whole 'good/bad bot' thing is comedic. Bots talking to bots about other bots, and sadly those are usually the smartest comments.
