well said. In these last month there are full of spam comments here and on the steemit chat. Honestly, they are boring and sometimes invasive (on the steemit chat people write direct messages to ask follow to follow, more and more times in a day). Spam others contents it's a very bad approach and I think that more our reputation is high more spam we have. So bad.
I used to "spam" the promotion channel over on Steemit.chat with my blog links; but that's what that was there for.
The begging and the irrelevant crap are going to drown us unless we stop these jokers good
I also use to "spam" the promotion channels with my blog links, but in these last months, every time I post a link there are some people who direct message me for follow4follow or upvote4upvote, about 5-7 direct messages at day (that I ignore) :(
