Do we really need these many posting bots?

Every day I am noticing more and posts by bots.

At first it didn't bother me as I thought bot posting may incentivate people to comment but since this rarely happens and now I think they are just polluting the communities.

I know I can filter them but I wonder what is the general sentiment about this.

Can you reveal their names?

“bot” and “bOt” are the main offenders I see. Sometimes it’s ok and useful, but “bOt” got a bit too zealous with the same thing going across multiple communities

yeah I blocked those too. Got tired of seeing posts copied and pasted from reddit, all of which with zero comments
