I commonly browse all by new, and I block users who crosspost any given article to more than one other community. To me it’s almost always a sign that they actually don’t care about the topic or contents, but instead their own post count and user recognition.

      Their only true merit, is the ability to gauge if your post fits with the general vibe of a community. They’re just digital dousing rods.
