COUB.com Entry 10 - BOTS

For several weeks COUB.com has been infected with a poison(BOTS). This poison seeped in and has basically ruined certain aspects of how a user may enjoy the website. The funny thing to me is that it's not a change to the programming, but someone posing as a user. They could be a coub operative. This evildoer creates fake channels. What is a fake channel? They aren't fake, but they aren't real either. They ALL have similar sets of naming conventions like AbbbAbbb or ABaaaa, etc... They ALL have approximately the same number of recoubs, likes, follows, followers, and no banners, so they are what we call FUCKING BORING!! None of them have made any coubs. There is no pattern to what they recoub. Curating channels is an art, but these "randomers" have nothing. Most of that is inconsequential, however they automatically like new coubs made by others. This robs all other users of the joy of discovery and exploration. All coubs having likes already destroys a part of the fun. It is sad that someone made the website less fun for me. Bots are like herpes.
