Bots that buy things only do so to address a temporary inefficiency in the market - they won't work perpetually and you can argue their actions do provide value.
If the bots continually outpace the majority of humanity’s purchasing ability does that mean they don’t exist or do they pass some capitalist Turing test? I asked on behalf of all the bots checking for semantic values on social media and then drop shipping unique /s shirts.
I’d link things like this[1] but I can’t be sure you’ll see the same thing I’m linking because they are constantly mutating.
We have to accept the fact that algorithms have reached the tech level of convincing a double digit percentage of humanity to do what the algorithm wants because that is what is current reality
