As some may have noticed, a fairly large portion of the post on this community are article links posted by bots. I am no moderator and am just a regular user like the rest of you, but I want to know what the community thinks of the posting bots. here is a sample of my opinion to get conversation started:

Pros:

lots of content to engage with
people can focus on discussing things not finding thing

Cons:

lack of reliable quality of article
lack of diversity of content

you are viewing a single comment's thread

it's the amount of comments on bot posts that is the problem. I go to news communities on lemmy/reddit too see articles and people's reactions to those articles. If I just wanted to read news, I would go to my news aggregator, not Lemmy.
