While cute, this superfluous comment is considered to be spam, harms the blockchain, and is the reason why we will soon have to pay for comments like this with Resource Credits. The servers that maintain the blockchain are extremely expensive because of comments like this seeking low effort upvotes, so please do not reward this behavior.

Please consider using this link to give a small downvote of 15% or so to discourage these comments.

Any bot like this should respect the community by providing a whitelist to prevent the post in the first place and then provide a way to delete the comment for those who find this intrusive.

not to fight, but isn't this a bot as well?
just curious, please don't flag.

Also, would you consider removing your upvote please? Sorry, but this behavior cannot be encouraged so I'll work on downvoting any rewards that remain.

I would not consider it, I had no problem with the comment, you may be free to do as you wish though.

Absolutely, I've spoken of this irony many times so explore this account and @duplibot to understand that a little better. This account is posting in an effort to take from the rewards pool, I'm posting to protect it.

I respect both of your efforts, but don't we all by design deserve the reward pool for operating the platform that we are co-owners of? I post to earn a share of the currency, though I do my best to make it meaningful and constructive.

I'll put it this way. Would you spend hundreds of USD per month to maintain the servers just to post automated content like this? Of your own money, that is.

The production of the Steem token occurs on a decentralized network of independent server operators, most of which lose money every month.

And the size of these servers is increasing daily, to the point they need to be upgraded every couple of months, with prices nearly doubling each time. The size of the servers necessary is increasing because the amount of transactions are increasing.

From this perspective, are you willing to invest hundreds of your own fiat every single month just so content like this can be posted?

If you are not ready to put up this cash, then you should be as deeply opposed to this behavior as I am.

I am sorry, I did not comments caused such a problem in storage space.
if each user gets an average of 10 100% votes a day, there is then an expectation for each user to generate about 10 posts a day (i think these mostly better be comments as images and higher content uses more storage space). I don't know, just thinking out loud. this is why also equalizing voting power is dangerous, because the place will be run with voting bots.

gasp! cool, I didn't know!
yay, I made a haiku!
by accident!
