I'm confused, bringing posts from Reddit seems like a waste of time, no-one replies, it's extra, unnescessary load for the servers. Why is this tolerated?

Seems odd to be copying others posts to prevent it from being deleted, when I've seen so many users here proudly say they've been nuking all their posts and comments to sow confusion in web searches and prevent reddit from "using their content".

I think the repost bots are awkward. Seeing so many posts in "hot" and "new" with zero comments makes the site feel dead. I don't want to engage with a bot, and it makes it very difficult to find real, user generated content when most feeds are clogged with bot-copied text posts.
