"As with most social phenomena, social-network success tends to happen more organically and unpredictably than anyone is able to artificially create by throwing money at it." - Marco Arment

Mr bot, respectfully, you are wrong sir, or madam.

While throwing money at something doesn't guarantee its success, growth is achieved purposefully in the hands of skilled entrepreneurs. For example the use of bots, such as yourself, to artificially create discussions and debates which drive traffic and new members.
