lol/ Nice.
Yes I was totally surprised by the amount of bots welcoming me to Steemit. Half of them don't even make any sense. I can imagine its very off putting and confusing if it's your first time on steemit.
I ended up flagging them. They're basically just spam.
Yes, it IS spam. People are wise to it obviously and this is not only spam but MUST be a BOT as the rep is so low but doing nothing about it.
