No. Sorry... Bots will not be going down, to my knowledge. But if they do not adapt to the new 15 minute reward curve, hopefully human curators will get more of the reward than the Bots do. This is more of an action to (probably) limit the rewards being collected by "sleeping whales" who have set up some form of curation trail to vote at 25-30 minutes. Now human curators will have a window to get their vote in before those big automatic votes come in and get some curation reward out of it.

The biggest edge that humans have against bots is the connections they can make with other users. Bot's usually can't do that very well.
