That doesn't really tell us anything about whether or not they trigger javascript. Bots triggering javascript will inflate advertising and js-based analytics numbers, which would be more problematic.
Bots that don't trigger js, however, are more a drain on bandwidth than anything else.
- ch4s3 13y agoI seem to remember from a job I used to have as an analyst that advertisers have a few ways to discern human and bot traffic. They don't pay for traffic that is known to be from bots. However there are clearly some bots that aren't accounted for this way, and some that are designed specifically to trigger ads.
