They are a net gain to the site owner IMO. Years ago you could make a case for cutting into ad revenue, but in this day and age it's hard enough to be discoverable to generate any in the first place. Sites with high SEO are swollen with ads and fluff and useless. Nowadays I'm just glad to see something I wrote about or compiled spur healthy interactions and on page 1 of search engines.

That includes making third party dissemination easier. Perhaps I come away knowing and remembering more because of a bot's concision. Maybe that makes me more likely to share your unique idea with others IRL. I dunno
