RE: The Daily Coverup -- Transparency Under Attack.
Thanks for the humor; I like you already. I've been online since way before the Internet, and disagree strongly about @transparencybot's comments being spam. However, they would be less intrusive if they just stated the bottom line and included a link for people to click into the detail.
The fact that anyone could research the information doesn't make it of no value. I'm not going to research every poster that I follow. I like having the information right there, under the post.
Motives do not make something spam. What makes an item spam is that its presence degrades the experience rather than contributes to it.
I have been using Bitcoin since 2011. Doesn't mean I am significantly more knowledgeable than someone who found it in 2013 (when most other people did), and spent more time than I have researching, and building actual applications on blockchian. Time != wisdom. Time + knowledge = Wisdom.
Still spam by the definition of the word.
As the bottom part of the message has a built in solicitation.
"@Transparencybot is a non-profit initiative, please consider supporting it and the transparency it brings to our platform."
I agree and have already suggested to @transparencybot that he/she remove all of the spammy parts and put all of the detail and the verbage onto web pages, to reduce the comment to a single line that contains two links.
