I never said bots were the problem. I said people caring more about popularity is the problem and that once you realize this it's super easy to program bots to imitate people by up voting/down voting what you want. But yes, call me dense when you've misconstrued my argument from day one.

Edit: didn't look like my previous comment posted so I rewrote it. Considering how dense you are tho, maybe two versions will help you finally understand, so I'll just leave it.
