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.

    Maybe they don’t want to give Reddit traffic, or use their god-awful first party app but still see the content posted.

      Then they can either use teddit, libreddit, or spin up their own instance to clog up. This is a solved problem already. Heck if they just want the headlines all they need to do is subscribe to the RSS feed from reddit.

        For some people it’s not that simple. Some folks aren’t technical enough to spin up an instance of any software. Other people have specific accessibility needs that may not be covered by any remaining options.
