As some may have noticed, a fairly large portion of the post on this community are article links posted by bots. I am no moderator and am just a regular user like the rest of you, but I want to know what the community thinks of the posting bots. here is a sample of my opinion to get conversation started:

Pros:

lots of content to engage with
people can focus on discussing things not finding thing

Cons:

lack of reliable quality of article
lack of diversity of content

you are viewing a single comment's thread

[OT]

surely they're going through a personal crisis to be so terminally online and posting so frequently.

I apparently needed to see this today. Life has been winding me up lately and I have been impatient/quick to dismiss people as a result.

Thanks for snapping me out of it.
