Zap what you find valuable and glad you came across and what you think others might enjoy too. That's the whole point, let the markets decide.
You can get mad or jealous at cross posts or bots but I find the HN bot valuable and I'm sure others do as well. Same goes for people that find something on the web and share it here. You gonna get mad at them too?

You missed the point.
These bots/farmers are copying the text from other users and posting them here while pretending its their.
Take this one as example: #335904
They are not posting links. They straigh copy the text from other people and post it here.
Every post from that account is copy-paste text from reddit.
There is another bot doing the same aswell but with Quora content. He straight copys the whole thing sometimes even the comments. And people are blind zapping them.

I see a decent post that got a moderate amount of conversations around it from SN users. In the end, that's what matters.
You're over thinking OP posts. In the end, everything on the internet is regurgitation whether it's intentionally blatant or not.
You should look into reddit history and the massive amount of posts that are on there.
Have fun with your blacklists but it's an unscalable problem and the incentives built into SN already solve what matters for this site.

You are right its an unscalable problem, i agree 100%. I just wanted to give awareness of the abusing going on.

Sorry for not commenting on the link, I didn't know that would upset someone and I'm only uploading it because I liked the post.

Not linking the source while copy-pasting the content text made from other user = stealing.

el texto del contenido creado por otro usuario = robar
A small mistake on my part

I will remove you from the blocklist and unmute you.
Don't do it again.
Focus on Quality and Proof of Work. More effort = higher chance of stackers zapping you. Don't steal from other users.
