i ask you where is your proof of these bots all you have given is your word. If what you say is true that above a certain threshold its just bots then you could easily prove it by doing a study of all games above said threshold to prove that its bots.
"Great defection, but it wouldn't be in open source now would it?"
The amount of effort required to code bots good enough to fool most people and then keep it working on top of everything else in secret and then lichess would need some serious compute to handle something of that scale.
Now can a free website with volunteers helping code stuff and running only off donations have the time and resources to pull something of that scale off and remain undetected and then for what would they gain according to you
"all people are busy and have their opponents, so to avoid waiting too long, you can play against bots. However, even that logic doesn't hold because when it starts giving me bots, it just keeps going, almost until my rating drops below 1800. And then, when it drops, it starts giving me human opponents again in most cases"
its not to fill the queue but to keep ratings low or what reason would benefit lichess enough that would justify this
