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.

Will this also be problem for instances like lemmy.link (example Gaming community) where bots are reading RSS feeds and create posts automatically? I think this is an interesting instance, because it's a fast news aggregator for various topics even though almost only bots are posting.

I don't really mind bots posting news articles as much, that happened all the time on Reddit anyway, it's mainly the posts whose content needs the OP or needs commenters to be worth reading.
