RE: @utopian-io - Analysing 'spam' comments - 'nice post', 'good post', 'follow me'

in #utopian-io7 years ago

Haha. Nice post :p

I spent a good number of minutes writing up and positioning images in a post. It was a long and hefty one, lots of content-meat. And the 2 seconds right after I post, there is a comment. SKETCHY! Not possible, gotta be a bot.

The bot doesn't even know how to spell, first of all, because it said "Nic post."

Or I get this as a comment on MY post, with a video or an image of ME. "Great stuff, bro, keep up the good work."

Bro? Really? There is an image of me in my post and someone just copy and postes "bro". I mean, granted my icon is a slinky, and in comments of other people's things, I let it slide, or politely let the person know who I am if we're interacting and such. But spam comments calling me bro. Dude! I know you didn't read my post if you're calling me bro. lol Seriously. And they don't even upvote either. I'm so happy when I get a LEGIT comment from a REAL LIVE HUMAN and an LEGIT Steemian.

Sort:  

Sounds like a bot to me :(

Sir and Bro, very common - I am niether of those 😁

I hope you are receiving some decent comments too these days?

Yeah, I do get quite a few nice comments. Some are new folks who don't speak English well, but who are clearly making an effort and are writing a lot more than the typical spam comment. Others are the more common type of Steemian, friendly and all that.

I'm glad to hear that. And yes, I applaude those who don't have English as a first language and try with their comments.

Yeah, same.
