  Is it a matter of simply blocking the users that are bots?

    Blocking is good option to improve individual experience, but a flood of low effort, spammy content from bots makes a very bad first impression on newcomers.

    I just blocked the ones doing the reddit archiving. If a bot is annoying you just block it!
