It’s the easiest way to seed content but isn’t the best for building a community. Communities need to be more than RSS feeds. And that missing element is a human filter IMHO. Curated content.
I don’t think most people mind curated reposts at all. No one wants to see every reddit post copied over en masse. Well, I guess a some do, but they suck, as is covered in the post title.
It’s difficult to build new communities. You need fresh content to attract a crowd and unfortunately the best way to do this is with Reddit reposts.

Nonsense. The reposts are not content. It’s just spam, which dilutes what little content we do have.
It doesn’t seem like it is effective as I rarely see any upvotes or comments on the reposts.
