Only if the content is organic. Look at [email protected] . Full of bot posts from reddit with 0 comments. Even if one of them gets a comment, it would get drowned out by the subsequent bot posts. Blindly filling a community with bot posts would eventually make people unsub from it.

I'm sure those bots are well intended, but I would rather not see bots just copying posts from reddit blindly. When you sort all by new, it's just a swamp of bot posts.

Edit: So I checked to verify my claim and most are from @[email protected] iirc and you can just block that account to stop seeing all the automated posts from reddit
