I'm convinced that Reddit themselves are either behind those bots, or are deliberately looking the other way. Those bots posting and commenting make the site look more active than it actually is.

Itβs difficult to build new communities. You need fresh content to attract a crowd and unfortunately the best way to do this is with Reddit reposts.
Nonsense. The reposts are not content. It's just spam, which dilutes what little content we do have.
It doesnβt seem like it is effective as I rarely see any upvotes or comments on the reposts.

Need context on the question. You mean reposting stuff on Reddit or reposting stuff from Reddit?
