Bots, I feel are more of an annoyance for many including me. It definitely depends on what it is used for, however, in many cases online like posting comments or engagement farming, it is pretty much useless and takes up space on the platform.

I have about this many times before and it really makes me wonder just how many interactions on the internet are just between bots. This makes a lot of things on the internet feel less credible and I feel can definitely lead to more distrust in things like the news or other things like announcements by companies.

The idea of the golden rule is something that I feel almost everyone has been told at least once. I dont think anyone would disagree with this idea but in reality many people, especially online is completely ignored, whether its users harassing each other, or companies farming users data and selling it.

Especially in todays social media world, Consequentialism and the idea that the ends justify the means, I feel could cause more problems like feelings of exclusion or discrimination. To get to point where most people are happy, there will end up being another group that feels unhappy or feels like they did not get heard. this could also lead to that group being discriminated against by the majority and ultimately make a more hostile place to be.
