Let's be honest it works for memes. Memes are 99% of the time just reposted garbage anyways.
For everything else though, I agree. Bots shouldn't be used
I'm fine with the post especially in niche communities just to keep them alive. But yeah comments seem useless.
One of the best things I've done is to uncheck "show bot accounts" in settings.
On Reddit it got so bad I stopped responding to replies entirely. I'm still not very regular about that, but whenever I check now, I'm shocked to find I'm not just getting blindly downvoted for potentially contraversial statements. It feels like a really good sign to me - progress in an era of downward spirals as low effort people all over the world spew their nonsense on everything.
I treat Reddit like I treat twitter. When something happens, I look at it to get a read on the situation, or what people are saying or whatever. But I otherwise totally ignore it now.
A year ago, I couldn't go an hour without looking at Reddit.
