Everyone makes mistakes when the start out, but it's not the software's fault, its the users fault.
If you don't learn the basics, then yeah, you'll screw up your site in no time.
Automation is not the problem, the user is.
If I use Marketing Samurai to gather long-tail keywords so I can get my writer to create content, instead of doing 3 hours worth of work, I do it in 15 minutes, how is that a mistake?
Would you consider that cheating? You have access to the same software, I just know how to use it better. If you refuse to use the tools at your disposal... Well that's your mistake.
