Most postings on lemmy are simply Reddit “archive” bots. Why is this so prevalent?

I disagree, it just leads to spam and people blocking the bots, and therefore the communities.

Yes, I've blocked a number of start up communities because they've flooded my feed with posts. Some of them even seemed interesting and I subscribed...only to immediately unsubscribe and block after seeing it has 10 posts an hour with 0 engagement.
