As some may have noticed, a fairly large portion of the post on this community are article links posted by bots. I am no moderator and am just a regular user like the rest of you, but I want to know what the community thinks of the posting bots. here is a sample of my opinion to get conversation started:

Pros:

  • lots of content to engage with
  • people can focus on discussing things not finding thing

Cons:

  • lack of reliable quality of article
  • lack of diversity of content

    It seems the same things keep being posted multiple times, usually by bots. I have blocked bots, but they still show. It’s gotten to the point I’ve had to start blocking them, and users the post the same things that have already been posted here multiple times.

    Get rid of them I say.

      Noticed this as well, I keep seeing the same topics and articles posted 4-6 times within a day or so. Getting annoying.
