People use stalebot when they're too cowardly to close issues because they have no interest in addressing them. They can just go "oh well, people didn't have the energy to catch the bot after the 5th time, I guess there's not enough interest after all"
I noticed I accidentally played an unlicensed Mario sound sample on stream. "Oops, I hope Nintendo won't find out." I laughed, people in my voice chat laughed, the Nintendo Alarmo on my nightstand laughed, a horde of lawyers kicked in my door. It was a good time.
