Fair point. I guess elites positioning themselves as downtrodden underdogs ("it's so unfair that everyone's attacking me for committing crimes and bankrupting my companies") is a great way to get support.
Everyone loves an underdog, even if it's a fake underdog.
While I'm generally a blockchain skeptic, this is actually a good use for a blockchain - to "register" bots so they have an id, and an owner, and you can measure their behavior. There are going to be more bots interacting with more sites, so, this could work.
Not sure if you mean "individuals" compared to companies or organizations, or actually just solo bloggers, so I'll include a few that have more than one individual author but are "personal".
Any thoughts about making this an open platform where people own their own data but apps are built on top of it? And users can design their own UIs too? I'd be an early paying customer of that API.
