Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
Bots on reddit are just so universally annoying and most of them provide no value at all. Most of them should have been banned on sight anyways.
There was one for a while that told you how many times you left a comment saying "nice." It had a leaderboard and the top ones had done it some tens of thousands of times.
"most bots" leave auto summarize bot, reminder bot, repost detection bot about of that.
And Gandolf bot.
Flag waving bot and gif reverse bot come to mind. The value is just fun, but if fun isn't valuable, what is?
I modded a niche outdoor community sub and I banned every bot that found its way there. Sorry, but we don't need a metric conversion bot nor a grammar correcting bot.
Yeah, because the best part of reddit was the human interaction, and having bots proliferate everywhere just kills that entirely.
The auto-tldr bot was/is pretty useful
