I realize this may bring in a few dollars per month for the domain owners, but do these websites provide any real value?

If you are scraping the content from the web anyhow the user would be better off going to the original source, or a moderated environment like Reddit I would say?

I don't think they provide value to readers but it could provide value to the domain owner if they are looking to sell their domain. If I go to a domain and it looks like this with compared to a simple "this domain is for sale" page it could convey a higher price.
