Like I get it there’s less people so less content but come on, using bots to just repost shit from reddit? What are we, 9gag now?

    I’m fine with reposting stuff like News, where it’s relatively impersonal and I’m not necessarily concerned with comments.

    But I also like having more in depth conversations on the creative stuff. Just having bots post that feels impersonal.

    I guess it depends on the magazine.

      This is a good viewpoint I think. News is ok. Not sure how you filter that though. I’d rather have bots pulling news from direct sources whether that be world events, game news etc rather than Reddit.

      I was torn at first but then I realized my gut feeling when I see them is to not upvote or comment on them. So why have them??

        Other people converse on posts other than the OP’s though, so commenting on a bot post isn’t worthless. Personally I feel the bot posts are helping, my bot posts have been decently engaging, some have a lot of discussions in them

      I am concerned with comments, but I’m not suggesting we copy those over. The posts are fine, I just wish there was more engagement with them
