Is large scale direct reposting of content from corporate social media healthy for the Fediverse? (piefed.world)

I can see if accounts do it occasionally and organically but are accounts that exist solely to repost popular and recent posts from twitter/reddit/Facebook healthy for the Fediverse?

I wouldn't have a problem with it if it was labeled at a bot post so I can filter it out easily but to constantly create new accounts spamming the content is annoying as shit.

Important point.

"Posted by bot" is a whole different issue from "Posting Reddit/X/FB"

Both moral and social issues worthy of discussion... but that should be considered entirely separately.

Even if it was posted by a human if the account is doing nothing but reposting content does it matter though?
