I like how you've bolded the word rules. There aren't really many rules about content and growth except as a social negotiation. Some people feel some frustration that work judged as quality in other communities does not automatically find traction here. My reasoning is that the poster has not found/created their community on Steemit and is instead expecting the software to do that for them where it cannot.
For my own part, I have stopped most upvoting of template/bot posts. I'd prefer we had some tag that bots posted under so we could choose to filter them out much more easily. If we developed such a consensus then we could enforce it by downvoting bot posts that don't use the tag.
