Agreed. Empty but nice comments aren't the worst thing, but I try to say something that might be constructive somehow. Asking a question you genuinely want answered about someone's post or the art/other work they show in that post is probably a start.
Are you referring to both issues there, or just the bots? Is the nature of how Steemit works likely to allow for such things to be improved in the future? Forgive how green I am. :)
