Are people on steemit getting SPAMMED?

in #steemit8 years ago

Recently I got SPAMMED on Steemit.

Some bot gave me .001 Steem dollars with a comment to many users of steemit to drive traffic to a post.

If a person is giving you money to possibly look at their post, is it considered SPAM? You could just accept the money and ignore the message. This is kind of a new phenomenon, I have never been paid to look at an ad before. I like to know what you guys think?

I don't think there is much harm. I may be naive to some sort of dilution this could bring upon but for new users it is good to see some people are willing to shed a few stem. It welcomes people to be friendly on this sight, which is much needed.
