And while text posts may be another matter, what is wrong with copying links? Reddit is just linking elsewhere themselves.
I'm not making an ethical criticism, I'm saying coping over a bunch of discussion threads from another site isn't the kind of content most people here are going to engage with. We see post after post copied from a bot - why would we go into the thread and make a comment?
