The majority of predictions on ATS are in the form of people relating dreams and the occasional ET contact story.
I don't really care about earthquake predictions, in fact - I don't care about them at all. If I did I would follow Stan Deyo's work or the other two scientists who make use of data outside what is considered to be "valid" by the USGS and others.
I don't think the web bot data should be posted on ATS at all to be honest. Most of the people doing so haven't seen the actual data and relate incomplete or second hand information with zero effort put into going back and re-checking the analysis after the fact.
Why does it bother people like you so much anyway? If they want to charge 10 bucks for a product dealing in predictions they need to deliver something or find themselves out of customers. If people want to pay the 10 bucks that's really none of your business. Are you taking on the mantle of consumer advocate for ATS?
If so maybe you should concentrate on areas where you aren't "competing" so to speak. It raises ethical concerns and questions as to your true motivation.
Like UFOs, moon anomalies and everything else - I don't care what people believe or don't believe. My only issue is watching people spout judgments who can't b e bothered to actually research the issue. Like I've said, everyone can offer an opinion but when its combined with lies and incorrect information they're no longer sharing an opinion, they're spreading misinformation which IMO is fostering ignorance not denying it.
That's the one major issue with ATS that people complain about. There are too many people spreading ignorance rather than making well informed decisions and calling it "being a skeptic".
When you start predicting major political and social events a year in advance let me know.

If you are so into the webbot program then please tell me one thing...
Is it based upon the fact that people have (conscious/unconscious)precognitive abilities......???
If it is, then you can make the most elaborate piece of software behind it, it's still depending upon the correctness of peoples precognivity (is that a word???)....
Peace

Ooh nice point.
I personally think the Webbot is just a crawler like Google has and it's going to report whatever it finds people talking about but it is interesting to hear what it thinks is going to happen.
Your pointing out Americans rounding up Americans is even more interesting.
Thanks for that.

OK, lets say this "banking thing" does happen. What about the FDIC? I thought if you have money in the bank, it is safe and insured. I'm sure the banks would have to give you some kind of credit ie. if you have enough in savings to pay off your house, then they would have to allow you to do so.

The FDIC is insolvent. They are having to borrow from the banks in the form of increased fees. Too many (smaller) banks have gone under and the FDIC reserves are very, very low.
CIT is about to file Chapter 11 to boot.
TEHRAN - UN nuclear inspectors are to visit Iran's new uranium enrichment plant that has raised alarm in the West on October 25, the UN atomic watchdog head announced on Sunday after talks with Iranian officials.
