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

    That’s fair, my bot posts once an hour and checks it’s own previous posts. That is actually something I did not write, but pulled from github.

    I wrote something in Python for videos that I can convert to the tech community, that one does check all community posts and won’t repost.
