The youtube autoposter... should it be disabled? (self.linus_tech_tips)

I see a habit of people downvoting every post from the Youtube auto-posting bot. This bot posts each video from select LTT Channels when they are released.

I've noticed a habit of people downvoting them all. I assume from the issues brought to light. I'm not sure that downvoting is productive, as it may not represent the actual quality of the content.

I'm not a fan of brigading but I'm also not a fan of posting content that no one wants to see.

Please, leave your comments on how you feel about the posting bot.

Thanks, Jason

Honestly, what else are we going to post about in here? I think the bot posts are a nice way to categorize conversations here on the only real talking points 99% of the time.

There will be a few other threads from time to time, but I really don’t see any need to downvote bots - it’s not like the amount of video posts are amounting to spam
