I agree with most of your comment but IDK about the end part. Bots haven’t seemed to be working at all, most people hate them. Luckily there’s a setting to hide all bot posts but most people don’t know that option exists in their settings.
I think the problem with bot posts is that they can put more content in than the human community can sustain. If we don’t have enough humans to vote on all these posts and comment on them, then adding more posts into the pile makes the problem worse, it’s artificial. If humans were actually interested in the content then they would’ve posted it themself. The OP is someone that put themself out there for engagement, it’s an offer to socialize with someone. The next person to see the post knows there’s at least 1 other person willing to talk about this, because there’s always at least the OP.
Instead of bots we’re probably better off just doing our part to make more posts and comments.
Also we probably need to kick some habits from Reddit, like we’re used to not doing self promotion, or being afraid of a community being mostly compromised of your own posts. Also another Reddit habit I think is only posting in specific communities but here if the community is too specific then it won’t have many subscribers, so we should be crossposting to the more general communities too.
