The bots have taken over...what a sorry state of affairs

in stick •  5 years ago 

Admittedly some of it is well meaning, most of it is just a curation grab but after reading @taskmaster4440 latest post and then looking forward to reading the nine comments, I suddenly realised what a state this place was in.

Here is the post...

It wasn't too long back that @partiko was hounded away for adding a comment to posts created on its App, still the only decent App for mobile use and now look what we have without a whimper of complaint.

So I ask you. If you're going to give someone some tokens or a manually curated or otherwise vote for their post, why the hell do you also need to add a spam comment too?

Is it simply for your own ego or to show off?

So. Should everyone who reads and upvotes a post or gives someone a token add a comment too? If that's what you want , then no prob. I will start. If I upvote a post I will add a comment -

Upvoted by @nathen007 'cos I'm a generous guy and I want the world to know.

Then I can write a daily post, telling everyone again who I voted for which will earn me a fortune and can sit back safe in the knowledge I will be able to retire a wealthy man.

Sorted, I can't wait to start feeling that enormous sense of well being that everyone else seems to feel .

Engagement rate is getting very low here.

100% true.

They are very boring, it's hard to find the real comments. If anything the spam is putting off replies.

Exactly. Hence using that post as example. We need posts that create discussion.
Anyway. How's your neck doing and how are you enjoying the cold snap? I'm rather jealous of the cool temperatures you have right now!

My neck is getting better, thanks :)
The cold is a bit chilly, but some lovely sun!
Steemfest seemed like a bit of an endurance test, relieved I sat this one out. Good to meet folks, though.

So tempted to hit this one with a little bit of !DERANGED and perhaps a nice cold !BEER to relax with. Ooops.

I can imagine the number of comments on chain if these bots were excluded would be pitiful. Arse indeed.

! Fuck off with your Spam token

Favourite item of clothing right there!

I bet it is at the moment! We are rather jealous of your -2c you're having right now!

Did you clean it after use?

I think the spam comments decrease the engagement even more. Sometimes I lose the will trying to wade my way through spam comments and tokens.

You are probably right. What you need to do is talk about the spam and then you get engagement :)

deranged You just received DERANGED @nathen007 Keep up the great work, view all your tokens at steem-engine.com
