I don't necessarily believe he's made 220K from botting, but if he had, it'd be much more than an average programming position, say over 4 years even. Programmers are not very revered or highly paid unless you're coding for your own startup.

Have you missed the hundreds of **** you ptr for datamining threads? Or the hate on Townsend for buying hand histories? Who here is supporting datamining? Botting is obviously worse, but both are cheating.
No I haven't missed them, and you're right to some extent. But my impression is that the percentage of the poker community that actively does not use PTR, ie boycotts it, is very small. This is an admission of it acceptability. And I don't think botting is obviously worse. Compared to using PTR to look at someone's winrate, yes, but like I said before, if I were just concerned about my winrate, I'd rather play vs. a bot than a Human with 10k hands on me.
