I actually keep seeing other repost bots show up quite a bit, something for Hacker News seems to be the biggest one, but there’s others apart from the Reddit reposter (which I think I had already blocked at one point). I think it was necessary in the beginning when an increase of content was needed, but just cut the fucking cord already. If you really want to break free from reddit, then stop trying to scrape content from them.
Me too. I was bummed because I had already blocked one and then another one popped up. For places I was already subscribed to that didn’t seem to be bot posts before.

Imagine the new user experience
Who makes these bots?
Can anyone do this?
Would disallowing the use of bots by anyone cause any foreseeable issues?
