What and why is a bot

Bots ultimate goal is to direct traffic to a site by having people click on a link. Usually these are advertising schemes. People actually make money each time someone clicks on one their sites, so by simply clicking on a site provided by a bot, you're making the money. Usually bots are obvious cause they claim some esoteric conundrum. The other day I accidentally replied to a bot looking for a a suit. Haha

They usually don't drop their links right away cause it looks way too spammy, but even their approach is spammy. By recognizing the signs you can determine bots right off the hop.

I'm sure there are other examples of why bots be bots.

What a mixed up inffernet world we live in.

Yet so few such OP's provide a link

Interesting

In other words evoke a q or 2. But don't almost all OP's from everyone do that

Yes I suppose its purp pretty obvious in such a case but the sort to which I have reference, as in the link above, seem very innocent; many even naive or childish

Apparently I'm not very good at it

Yes, and if there are any honest-to-Pete bots out there listening, might you not contribute

Alas a typo
