Ebay Uses Bots (Slop) to Give Users a Lot of Work
Botspam
cannot believe what Ebay is doing. Now it uses bots (which it calls “hey hi”) to do things that demand users do real work, to “respond” to the bots. They also send lots of SPAM. It gets worse over time.
Someone in Gopher complained the other day: “Ebay themselves have also become increasingly annoying over the years in a whole host of ways, which I don’t have time to detail.”
Stop using bots to “save work” when in fact all those bots do is give unpaid work to your customers, whom you piss off.
