Why is it frowned upon here to 'steal' content from reddit? (lemmy.ml)

If anything, shouldn't it be encouraged, and even automated? I'm including even the 'old' stuff from reddit here. Reddit shouldn't be the absolute owner of the content submitted by users. When I migrated here, it wasn't because of me being against reddit users, but being against reddit the company. Copying the content here actually hurts the company in sense that they don't get to then gatekeep the crowdsourced content.

It's kinda beat seeing a whole wall of automated reddit reposts from bots, nobody ever comments on them. But I get that there's some content we may wanna see among it. However, I don't like seeing links directly to Reddit, I'm not trying to give them traffic at this time
