This.

They're simple to adjust to individually but they're total trash for the table dynamic. Also every seat taken by a 20bb nitbot is a seat that cannot be occupied by an odd stacked 67BB-100bb newb.

Especially in the last few months its become pandemic. It seriously slows down my start up of every session. I log in and have to close over 1/2 of every table that opens because literally HALF the table OR MORE is 20BB deep It's gotten so bad that before today any table you could find that was only 1/3 occupied by 20BB rat holing nit-bot shove tards was a good find and I'd sit down and just deal with it since at least there were 5 other guys/girls who wanted to play poker.

Finally, just for entertainment value, they ruin it for everybody who truly loves poker. They don't play poker they play cards, they play bingo. If a good table is 1/3 occupied by these pests then 33% of the time you try to play poker you instead get forced into shove or fold or stop and go situations. Over the past year it has really developed into hatred for me.

When it's difficult to find tables with less than 1/2 of the players 20BB deep, these vermin have effectively turned half of the action on the entire site into 20BB capped games, just so they can be at best rake back pros..at our expense (because they could not survive in 100% 20BB tables). That's just not fair for those of us who want to actually play poker. This really ruins the game even more so for the casual 60-100BB odd stacking fish who loves to limp-call, overcall, chase long shots, make hero calls, and generally just have a great time gambling and trying to bust us. I love these guys, but they can not thrive on tables with 50% 20BB SSS pros.

You are right you don't get it. If you really wanted to find out the reasons, it's pretty well documented all over this forum. But I guess looking like a helpless moron is a good thing to do also.

yes your collective whine is well documented.

Shorties are mathematically impossible to adjust to or beat so we must ban them.
