It's bot-work.

When I was actively flagging spam, I was kind enough to leave a comment explaining why, and giving the spammer the option to change the spam to something else so I would remove the flag...they rarely did.

Yes, I have my suspicions that a huge amount of spam bots are being controlled by a few, or perhaps even one greedy Steemian.

I think the time for kindness is over. The shit's not working.
