a bot posting an article from reddit with the only reply being another bot. yes, this is the community centric site i was hoping it would be.
Don’t hate on the summary bot. It’s actually useful and a hell of a lot better than clicking through to the site.
Also, it’s an article from the BBC, not Reddit?
this exact post is from the frontpage of r/technology
It’s not that hard to make a post with the exact same title as the article. Just because it has the same title, does not mean it’s from Reddit. It’s directly linked to the BBC.
Is there a mention of a cross-post somewhere? Is that bot copying all submissions from /r/technology directly? That is possible.
karma farming is like heroin to these bot creators. they just need to see a number get bigger so they’ll erode any community in their path
News aggregation bots are not quite in that same category.
I hate bots that repost from the same community, comment reposting bots or other bots that are designed specifically for karma farming. From that perspective, yes. I am right there with you.
However, bots that perform an actual function are useful. It’s why bots are allowed to begin with, actually.
The post is a half hour old ffs
Ah, classic Redditors complaining about anything and everything they can.
