What is the point of having a bot parrot everything that's posted on Reddit? (lemmy.ca)

I noticed there's a lot of " This is an automated archive made by the Lemmit Bot." Post. And I am wondering why?

I dont really understand why these are popular. The bots are only copying the OP Post and not the comments.

I don't use Reddit for the interaction, average Redditors are annoying to interact with. Reddit's value to me is the amount of information it contains. It's supposed to be like copy pasting a book that has DRM, so you can make use of the content without worrying that the book's copyright holder will use it to screw you over eventually.
