Obviously we need our own bots to out-bot the bots.
Only if they click and load the sluggy site to generate advertising dollars for Pete. But then...why not just use bots to directly load the site to earn internet dollars? I have no idea of prices these days but wouldn't be surprised if the extra advertising clicks wouldn't even cover the extra server bandwidth costs. Otherwise DDoS attacks would become quite profitable!
I'm not about to call for bot-on-bot violence, either. Seems cruel. If bots can be useful, I don't think it'll be in this context...
