    Serious question, because I get a similar “TIL” on my mastodon thread and saw this and had a similar thought - would you prefer to see no “TIL” content posted by bots? I don’t have any stake, but they do provide 3 benefits that I personally enjoy, as much as I’d prefer it was “organically” generated content:

    1. Some posts are insightful, others I can just ignore/move on.
    2. It provides a way to interact with the broader “fediverse” community about certain topics.
    3. Helps avoid visiting sites like Reddit by virtue of having less content here and looking elsewhere.

    More on topic - here’s a pic of the couple, for anyone interested:
