I’m confused, bringing posts from Reddit seems like a waste of time, no-one replies, it’s extra, unnescessary load for the servers. Why is this tolerated?

    One of the good things about reddit was the bulk of knowledge already there…

    Reposting memes makes no sense, but TIL, DIY, and random tech subs have a lot of good info going back a decade

      Yeah, this is it. I’ve also been slightly annoyed at the bot posts because it’s just a firehose of content without any interaction. However, for the useful info subs, I think its a small price to pay to make sure that information is propagated outside of reddit’s servers.
