Why aren't we just stealing all of the top content from Reddit and posting it here?
Reddit doesn't actually own any of the content, right? Neither do any of the contributors? Seems like a good way to fuck Reddit.

Only for accounts actually labeled as a bot. Thats basically just a flag that can be turned on and off, someone who is going to make a bot for malicious purposes such as spamming content probably won't flag it properly.
It would be bad form to make an account labeled as a bot and just post from it normally, right?
well, yes, i dont think there's anything stopping you from doing that in any way. But the bot account flag is basically just honor system is my point. I wouldn't expect it to be a rock-solid way to deal with bots. Only the good/non-malicious actors are going to properly label themselves.
