Seeing the repost bot clog up all->new is very annoying. About to block the entire community based on its actions.

This is an aggregation site. Reddit has the information we want. It’s like Wikipedia or a news website.
Oh, you mean Reddit as a cultural phenomenon. I was thinking as an information hub. As a general rule of the internet, if something is good enough, it will escape containment from wherever it was originally posted and into a new community.
