socialbots
Do you thing GS uses social bots on this forum. Maybe in the ask Marcus/complaint responses. They sound pretty canned. Maybe used in other sections?

I do not doubt that GS already employs bots. They are in business for money. If you are reading a topic about converters and a ad pops up (unless you have adblocker) about converters at CW, it is likely targeting you. That is OK with me, as long as they are not calling my house. It's business.
