I ask because it seems like it would be really bad but I don’t see much talk about it. I do, however, see talk about anonymity being banned from the internet and it being a bad idea. Would a social media site or other such sites be rid of a bot problem by making users ID themselves?

The answer is yes there’s more bot traffic than people. But a bot can do more than random posts on social media. Bots are used to automate tasks like fetching log files or automatically deleting disk space (over simplification). Bots can also check multiple websites for cheap airline tickets and provide those results to the requester in close to real time. Pretty amazing when you think about it.
What’s crazy is the amount of energy we need for these tasks. We’re basically fueling this…thing…we created to run tasks that requires stupid amounts of power just to find cheap pizza in the area.
