RE: It's a social platform...Comments are Key!
Hm. I wouldn't assume that, but I can see how it could happen. Of course if I responded to someone leaving two words and they came back at me with the same two words, than maybe ;)
People have written plenty of bots that have done just that. It used to be a huge problem. You just make list of nice sounding phrases like "love this", "nice work", "thumbs up!", "great stuff!" And the bot just comments one of those everywhere, and often gets voted up. Good way to make money.
I can see how it was a problem...but these days? It wouldn't be worth their time, the money for curation has dropped too much.
