Mazda is angry a customer used an API in a manner they couldn't control. You can read the DMCA takedown notice here.

You can read the article on your own if there is an issue and show a little appreciation for someone doing their best to make a helpful app.

Or I could let them know that the bot has a problem, and hopefully stop the issue from happening in the future.

Ignoring an issue because you want to be nice doesn't help anyone.

“Bad bot” isn’t an attempt to be helpful. It’s a personal attack against the creator.

Bad bot is how you report an issue with a bot on Reddit. As far as I know, it's the same here too. There's no attack on the creator here.
