Every day I am noticing more and posts by bots.

At first it didn’t bother me as I thought bot posting may incentivate people to comment but since this rarely happens and now I think they are just polluting the communities.

I know I can filter them but I wonder what is the general sentiment about this.

      Bots posting news articles is fine IMO. It prompts discussion in the comments. Most news articles posted on Reddit came from bots too.

      I think it just gets annoying when you see bots posting the same article across multiple communities, or worse, other bots reposting the same story a few days later. I don’t want to keep scrolling past the same story for a week straight.
