What would you do if you didn't have time to tailor comments to thousands of people who may never respond back? Plus, what if you accidentally say a bunch of repeated phrases like how are you? There are so many things that can be identical. How many stories begin with once upon a time and ends with that they live happily ever after, the end? There are so many repeated phrases, slogans, idioms, patterns, generalities, and I used to talk about this when I would teach people English in Vietnam for five years. I know what spam is and I also know that it is kind of anti-art so to speak. Spam is the monster that lives under your bed. Art and beauty can be in the eye of the beholder and spam too. And spam can be compared to alleged infringing upon alleged copyrights, patents, trademarks, etc, allegedly, to an extent perhaps or even absolutely. Spam can be compared to plagiarism but it always comes down to what percentage might be too high or too low as things like I said can be repeated. Some people might say that if you purposely copy and paste what others wrote and say you wrote it, then that would be considered plagiarism and perhaps theft. I wonder if you were to simply rephrase the content and then say it was yours, is that also plagiarism? Of course, people may say it is not plagiarism if it was rephrased and everything enough, whatever enough means. But if you got ideas from other people and don't give them credit, then how is it not theft? My answer would be that people either steal or borrow or whatever as there is nothing new under the sun as King Solomon of David said about three thousand years ago. I say spam is like hate speech. The most important aspect to what spam is is that it is unwanted but by who is a critical question. What is one man's treasure is another man's trash and vice versa. The same thing with spam. In advertisement, Nike spams their ads and commercials and product placements and signs and billboards and papers and articles and all kinds of different things online and offline. Companies spam. People spam when they say hi, how are you? People say that again and again. If I don't like it when you say, "I'm sorry for your loss," if somebody dies, I could say you are spam as you are just saying you are sorry for my loss and yet you might be spamming me. You might just be saying it. I repeat myself especially when I talk to new people because I am testing them. I may just say hi. Because they may say nothing in return. And not a lot of people may see their posts. And they might be boring. And they might be bots. And there are so many factors. When you comment, it is like dating. But writing a long non-spam comment like the one I am writing would be like asking a girl to marry you on the first date. If your comment is too big and too long, it is like meeting a new person and trying to talk for ten hours straight to the stranger in a monologue where you talk not to them but at them. This comment for example might be too long for some people. Perhaps this comment is not spam to some people. But this comment could be considered spam to those who do not like it. One definition of spam is when words are repeated. I would argue that if letters are repeated, that is the same as when words are repeated. Another definition of spam is anything a person may not like or may not want which is subjective to the individual who can choose to not like bad things and good things.
