My friend Johnny committed suicide in 2015, and I find that although he doesn't still have a bot or anything like that, I still feel that he is with me. I regularly text his number when I want to talk to him (sorry to whoever is actually getting those texts). His facebook still exists, and people regularly post on his wall in his memory. Blockchain creates a really interesting problem in the world when a person dies. If you don't have any of your online information backed up, where does that money go? Where does that account go? There's no way to delete it, it always goes on in perpetuity... but should it? Should there be a way to memorialize a steemit account? I think the upvotes from her bot would be comforting, myself- although I often felt haunted by Johnny in the year after his death, especially when he would pop up in my facebook memories or one of his favorite songs would play on the radio just as I turned it on. Hopefully Laura's bot creates more comfort than pain, eventually.
