I think bots that just repost stuff suck the life out of the platform. It's not organic sharing, you get EVERYTHING posted by the source website.
I'm actually really shocked at how accepted bots are here when it feels so antithetical to what the userbase generally stands for.
Why so? It's easy to block bots that have their accounts tagged as such. I block them myself, but I have no problem with them existing.
I do block them but like I said, they feel like the complete opposite of what social media sites like this are....a social site.
It's all about the comments section and with a bot, there is no OP to talk to.
