I know you're anti-bot, but someone spamming this kind of shit on every post needs a swift kick in the ass somehow. That said, I don't love the centralized policing angle either, it would be nice if downvoting worked a little better than it does.
According to Wikipedia: Electronic spamming is the use of electronic messaging systems to send an unsolicited message (spam), especially advertising, as well as sending messages repeatedly on the same site.
Sorry...I had to... :-)
(Yes, yes, I know Wikipedia is not the end-all, be-all. I'm just being a smartass.)
Something interesting I've noticed. Many people on Steemit comment with this type of style and attitude. In my online school, half of my classmates say "Good post!" without furthering any type of discussion as well. If you can read a comment and have no single idea what the main post could be about, then that comment serves no purpose except that they saw and liked what you wrote.
Another important thing to remember is that many people here do not have English as their native tongue, so how they are able to express themselves is also limited. I've had many friends on other social media that first appear to be bots. -But they were actual people struggling with the vocabulary of another language the more I learned.

Everitt is right bots suck, as for spam, there is no definition of spam, apparently it is what each person decides it is.

But isn't the trick not to cite Wikipedia, but to cite who they referenced???
