what is the purpose of your comment?

To point out that there are more things you can be doing for others than getting outraged at a person's lost productivity, if that is your prime concern.

I'm not sure that the OP was "outraged at a person's lost productivity". It seems like badv0r may have thought that the project could have potential merit if it focused on something like "feeding 80 human beings in poor country" instead of "Buying random things from amazon each month".

To be more general, the bot currently buys:

while it could buy

Then they should offer suggestions instead of chastising.

Most persons buy unneeded things whether they can afford them or not. The OP ought to take the time and energy they squander on judging others and devote it to helping the needy. Less anger, more good.

I thought the insinuation was fairly clear.
