Twitter makes its money as a marketing engine. Who can say what marketing is deemed intentionally deceptive? I'm not a Twitter user either but it seems to me an obvious question.
Most bots aren't marketing bots, they're sort of... Goofs, or utilities, or projects. Like @MyDudes_, which posts a picture of a frog every Wednesday. Or alttextbot, which if you follow it, DMs you when you've posted a picture without alt text. Or wwiiInRealTime. Or wintbot_neo, which is inexplicable outside of twitter but serves only comedic purpose.
wouldn't you need to know how many marketing bots there are to determine that?
making statements about goodbots/(goodbots+badbots) is difficult when the good bots already make it clear they're bots, and the bad bots are misleading.

In my experience those kinds of boutique/indie bots appear to make up a tiny percentage of total bots. If you have data that shows otherwise, I'd appreciate if you could share it.
