The same happens to me. I always ask feedback, opinions and suggestions to my posts. And 1/3 to 2/3 of the comments I receive are from bots. I only have 350 followers and some of my articles do not get any comments. So when I start to receive replies and they are empty of content I feel a bit disappointed. I would like to have more voting power just for flagging them.
The more time I spend on Steemit I come to realize that the comments are where it's at. Sometimes is enough to put a sentence or two and start an interesting debate. It's obvious that not everyone has the time to read all the posts but can always spend a little time interacting with the other users.
Nice meme :)
