Do people like the bot posts from lemmit.online? (self.asklemmy)

I was wondering if people like these, because I see a lot of them on my feed in Hot and while they can be interesting, they all tend to have 0 comments on them, whereas lemmy posts will always have more.

I think I would like the posts more if people did comment on them, for example AITA, ELI5 and a few others don't really function as well without them.

I understand wanting to replicate chunks of Reddit, but a lot of the bot posts are useless. I’m not inclined to respond to an AITA or ELI5 that’s just a copy paste from a bot.

The person who asked the question isn’t here. They’re on Reddit. The bot is just letting me know that someone asked a question on Reddit. The person, most likely, will have no clue that someone here is replying.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding the bots and they’re a two way - copy pasting from reddit to here and copy pasting our responses to reddit, but from what I’ve seen, that’s not the case.

I feel like the bots would be more useful copying posts that don't need the OP
