 Everyone likes them, but you don't need a human for any of that...

Will Nostr turn into a sort of bot radio channel? Maybe that's where this is all headed.

 It's not the same. For example you posted a picture with some food you bought. That gives me a picture of food from a German household that i had no idea, which is interesting. Then you said the strawberries cost 14€ the milk 1€ etc. And i wondered, how is that eggs in countryside in Germany are cheaper than here? What's going on? 
All that needs interaction.
You only have to interact in the end, posting is just a start and bots can't do that

 Humans have more potential to be interesting, yes, but humans have to be motivated to work. Bots labour, regardless. They don't care about making an emotional connection.

They can win, simply with volume, and tailoring to how people respond.

Humans have to decide if they want to communicate with other humans or only with machines, or with some mix of the two. We have a mix, now, but the machines are set to win.

 Who cares if the bots win overall. I like to read your posts no matter what the bots do. Moreover bots don't make a place look alive, humans do. And you particularly, you (among others) do make the place alive. So... Keep posting. I also like informations from every day life to compare. For example how much do your lebensmittel cost?
