RE: The New Bot Commenters on Steemit: Fuck You!
Sometimes it is hard to know if it is a bot that commented or just an inexperienced user. Some people will comment but not vote for an article yet provide valuable insights.
I always check their other comments before I flag. The obvious ones have the exact same spam comment multiple times on the same post!
I dislike flagging but it is getting a bit much and, it's a tool in our toolbox designed for dealing with this exact issue, so I feel a little less guilty now when I flag someone's comment.
I've yet to flag but I've come pretty close on occasion for some obvious trolling. For this kind of thing I'm tolerant but I don't upvote if I think it is not worthwhile.
Please flag bots, especially if you can lower their rewards
I agree, however it's difficult to believe a user won't upvote after commenting "That's amazing", "You are an incredible photographer" and "I've never seen something so cool."
You get my point :)
Yup, it happens like that sometimes.
