Wasn't this already a well established fact? Psychopaths gravitate towards positions of power. They are good manipulators and do not care about ethics. Next article "CEOs more likely to be psychopaths, research shows" duuhhhhh

Good bot

(Is that a thing here?)

Yea there are bots for sure. Main ones I see are this, another that corrects links to communities to be instance-generic, and another that provides AI generated summaries of articles (a tldr bot) (which operates only in specific communities I think).
