What is the point of having a bot parrot everything that's posted on Reddit?

I noticed there’s a lot of " This is an automated archive made by the Lemmit Bot." Post. And I am wondering why?

I dont really understand why these are popular. The bots are only copying the OP Post and not the comments.

Some people want to follow Reddit content without opening it. You can block the bot posting these if it’s annoying. I did that and never saw it again.

That is good advice. I hadn’t considered that.
