As the service grows, I have noticed more and more people and bots popping up, only posting links to a news article and that’s that. Usually there is no post, no summary and nothing from the OP but the link.

What do you all think about this?

Do you think it’s a good thing, because it is providing content? Do you maybe find it annyoing and if so, why?

I myself am happy when people take the time out of their say to try to provide content, but for me it’s a bit low effort a lot of the times. Bots I tend to block immediately and people it they make it hard for me to reader other posts between all their link-posting.

But I am more curious how you all think about this and whether you consider it good or bad.

    I have learned that the downside of moderating a political community (magazine in my case since I’m on kbin) is that I can’t/shouldn’t block bad actors because I need to be able to see their content if I’m to moderate effectively.

      I understand, I used to moderate a car forum a long time ago.
