    There’s lots of useful bots besides just summarizers. Reminder bots can be great. Some linkifying bots are also useful (like Marv in r/SCP). Bots can detect malicious spam bots. Subs like AITA use bots to tally up user votes. There’s bots for moderation actions, too.

    But we really could use a way to get rid of the absolutely useless bots. We don’t need terrible spelling correcting bots, a bot whose sole purpose is to tell people not to put “the” in front of “Ukraine”, or a bot that lectures people on AMP links.

      Posting the non AMP link (I guess without the lecture, is what I’m getting at) is all good though
