Feeds are littered with repost bots recycling mindlessly internet trash. Not rare is to see series of exactly same posts from different communities with no comments.
Say what you want, Reddit got this one better

I saw a post from the mod of a sub that has a bot post a “how are you today?” post every single day…
They were doing a PSA saying if you’re blocking posts by bots, you won’t see their daily spam.
Like yeah bub, that’s the whole point of being able to block that shit. It’s not a big, it’s a feature
More like a big feature.
Sorry couldn’t resist
I am glad you made that comment and you should not be sorry ; it’s a good joke and the person to whom you wrote that should have read again before sending the comment.
Of course the error is bug instead of big.
To be fair, at least that kind of bot post starts organic discussion and engagement within the community. The bad ones are the bots reposting reddit content like AITA where the OP will never see the comments anyway.
Yes, that’s me.
It seems fair to warn users as I had moved from posting the daily post myself to using a bot, that some of the people interested in that daily thread would not see it if they blocked all bots.
Anyway, if you find it daily spam, just block the community and move on.
You would still have to block it if I posted that thread myself.
