I’m saddened by the fact that I understand what this is about.

I’m not American. I have no reason to know the context of this. I should not know about this idiocy. My attention has been hijacked. Every time I learn about something as stupid as this, I feel like I’m wasting precious resources. There are more important things closer to me that I should be worrying about.

How I wish I could block out all this and enjoy a nice surf on the web without having my awareness polluted.

I don’t think that getting rid of bot accounts would be a good choice. It feels like half of all reddit activity is from bot reposters and comments.
