News aggregation bots are not quite in that same category.

I hate bots that repost from the same community, comment reposting bots or other bots that are designed specifically for karma farming. From that perspective, yes. I am right there with you.

However, bots that perform an actual function are useful. It's why bots are allowed to begin with, actually.
