-Are trading bots worth it? do they actually produce good money or are they just scams? should one just manually trade every few days instead of paying monthly fees for a bot?
Trading bots are certainly not scams. They are tools to provide automation. It is mostly up to the user to decide which automations they should implement and are profitable.
