What are your thoughts on bots reposting links to Reddit posts?

It reminds me how Imgur is often discussing images that were uploaded for Reddit and OP will never know about all the comments.

I’m not in favor of it at all. If a human user wants to link to something interesting/relevant, fine, but I’m not excited about bots spamming links.

That bot is an absolute menace. Often I come across a thread that would probably interest me, then I see 0 comments and the standard bot message and move on.

It also feels like it is really spamming those threads, which does not help the situation.

Personally, I would love to see it removed.
