Reddit doesn’t actually own any of the content, right? Neither do any of the contributors? Seems like a good way to fuck Reddit.

Theres plenty of bots doing that
fun fact, if you block the bots when you see them they go away :)
Fun fact, if you change the setting in your account to not see bot posts then they go away :)
Only for accounts actually labeled as a bot. Thats basically just a flag that can be turned on and off, someone who is going to make a bot for malicious purposes such as spamming content probably won’t flag it properly.
It would be bad form to make an account labeled as a bot and just post from it normally, right?
well, yes, i dont think there’s anything stopping you from doing that in any way. But the bot account flag is basically just honor system is my point. I wouldn’t expect it to be a rock-solid way to deal with bots. Only the good/non-malicious actors are going to properly label themselves.
wait… you can do that?
Can I learn this power?! how does one learn this power?
You’ll miss out on useful bots, like the one that rewrites Lemmy links so they work right.
