The new "Bots" tab experiment is a massive advertisement, and a terribly low quality feature that NO ONE asked for.

Discord recently has added a new experiment which will make a "Bots" tab appear in your server giving you recommendations to different bots. My first impression upon opening this tab was disgusting. I am not joking when I say I legitimately wanted to cry. For those who havent seen it yet, I will try to find a way to attach images to the feedback submission somehow. There are grammatical errors everywhere within the tab and it spits out console errors when you try to add a bot. There isn't even a new Audit Log entry type for adding/removing bots. The remove bot function simply kicks the bot. When I first saw a screenshot of the tab I instantly thought that it just HAD to be some satire someone shitposted on r/discordapp or something but no, this is a real thing. The experiment name is `2019-06_bot_recommendations`.

While I strongly agree with this post, I think this is more to combat the use of external services for advertising bots and to make it easier for new people to discord to be able to add bots to a server with the ease of having it within the platform.

This probably should be something that had gone through a bit more testing and cleaning up before coming to the public.
Additionally I do feel this is far to much of an advertising for some of the bots which are lucky enough to get on the list and will hugely drop a lot of other bots that do similar jobs.

I agree, and that's just gonna prioritize the well known bots and lower the chances of other to be invited, since guild managers will probably stop to seek for less known ones and directly use what's proposed.
