    I suppose it is just a news bot. I see nothing special about it. News as news. What exactly is the problem?

      I think I’ve seen a “this is a bot account” option. If the bot accounts set that up, and the users who don’t want to see bots turn off the “show bot accounts” it may fix some qualms? If the person doesn’t mark the account as being a bot I can understand why maybe users wouldn’t like it.

        They’ve had many, many alts over the last 6+ months with the same posting pattern. Not one has been marked as a bot.

          I haven’t been following who/what they were, but what I meant is would it fix your qualms if they made sure they had marked their account as a bot? Or are you just worried they will flood too many articles and that may come from specific locations which will have a bias or something?

          Because I would assume their perception is that more posts makes for more crap people can read/see/comment on which may help grow the communities.
