What the hell is up with all of these "this is an automated archive" posts when sorting by new? They clutter everything and seem to just be reposts or from bots...

There are some people who have set up instances that automatically pull content from Reddit. I'm betting one of the big players you're seeing in that noise is from the lemmit instance.

Seems to be a couple of bots, it's not a technical question as I know how to block them, just curious why it's necessary to have such clutter in the first place

Some people seem to think it's a good idea. Blocking must work well because I've not seen them for a long time.
