Every day I am noticing more and posts by bots.

At first it didn’t bother me as I thought bot posting may incentivate people to comment but since this rarely happens and now I think they are just polluting the communities.

I know I can filter them but I wonder what is the general sentiment about this.

    I feel it makes sense for a few communities where the main activity isn’t reading or commenting, but rather only looking at images. That said, a bot won’t see how well different kinds of content they post do, so they can (and do sometimes) keep posting low quality/effort, spam, marketing disguised as articles, etc.
