I wouldn't call it blogspam since r-bloggers.com is an opt-in aggregator. But yes a link to the original makes more sense.

What's the point to credit middle man? Hacker news, reddit do the same (or even better), r-bloggers just rip off the content. Been there, done that.

That's not what I said, my point was that labelling it blogspam doesn't seem correct because it's opt-in and a preferred source for articles for many in the R community. And as I said the original link should have been linked to.
