I also use CC0 1.0 for my bots and other work. 😁 Very interested to read about why you use it too.

To throw my own hat in the ring, I use it for several reasons:

• encourage innovation and allow unfettered reuse, hacking, etc. without it being stealing
• encourage a community to form around use. grateful users and collaborators are nicer than customers 😇
• while I do work professionally elsewhere, this is hobby stuff for me, so it's in the spirit
• to lower the bar of entry for people to use automation, and lower the offset cost businesses general impose (mandatory votes, license purchase, beneficiary cut, etc.)
• an opposition to the concept of intellectual property, and a small contribution to it's (marginally) increased irrelevance
