What a concept!
the show Black Market had an episode about bots and made that exact point - one of the main bot programs was created by a teenager (like a 16 year old kid from Suburban Detriot) who was selling it for people to be able buy up things like sneakers to resell at the product - kid is an absolute genius but that is what he was using it for - the people behind the bot scam programming are actually very brilliant people but they decide to use that brilliance to get easy wealth (although I supposed that the 16 year old bot boy might well grow up to work in more legitimate pursuits that creating tools for the DBN to us).
