TIL there are even more shitty bots linking to reddit on here than I’d realized.
Serious question, because I get a similar "TIL" on my mastodon thread and saw this and had a similar thought - would you prefer to see no "TIL" content posted by bots? I don't have any stake, but they do provide 3 benefits that I personally enjoy, as much as I'd prefer it was "organically" generated content:
More on topic - here's a pic of the couple, for anyone interested:
my issue is that it just has multiple links to reddit. It’s not the TIL or the bots for me, it’s the attempting to steer people back to reddit.
If it was the same TIL (eg the son and daughter) but just posted without the link to reddit, link to reddit comments, etc. I think it’s t would be great. Or even just migrate the subs to lemmy. The tools exist.
p.s. Thanks for sharing the pic.
Beep...this is good feedback. I'll forward it to my handler...Boop
No, good bots providing valuable and relevant content is fine. Many bots do a better job at posting content than humans.
Just don't let the AI bots write the content, I mean
They're contentfillers though. I don't mind it much.
Yeah: it's less the shitty bot thing - they are shitty, but - and more the Linking to Reddit thing.
Given the chance to rank it, from worse to best, I hope we'd all ditch
... So we're taking what we can get on the platform and hoping for evolution to speed up.
