Every day I am noticing more and posts by bots.
At first it didn’t bother me as I thought bot posting may incentivate people to comment but since this rarely happens and now I think they are just polluting the communities.
I know I can filter them but I wonder what is the general sentiment about this.
I know repost bots help “fill in” the lack of user activity for some communities but it ends up feeling empty anyway. I think posts (and reposts) should be curated (in a sense) by users. Bots should assist users in creating content, not creating content themselves.
It feels like a waste of my time engaging in a port the seeing its a bot after I started a comment. I always delete a d move along. I guess I should just block them.
I agree, and the impression of it being full of bots is worse that the impression of it being under populated.
