To add to that, no one WANTS to engage with automated bot content. The entire point of social media is to be... social.
I've seen it argued, specifically against Reddit reposts (bot or not), that becsuse this isn't Reddit, the original poster won't get the answers/insight. But I don't see why that matters. We can have a discussion here based on a topic started there independant of the original conversation. And maybe the person (when it's an actual person) reposting it simply has the same idea/question.
A repost is different. If you read something on Reddit (or anywhere) and you want to talk about it, posting it here is fine.
But if you're just taking every post and posting it here, you probably don't actually care about all of them.
