Great comment, I see you put a lot of thought into the topic of spam. What it is, what it's not, and how much of that can be open to interpretation. I'm not going to defend what the folks at hivewatchers do. I think the onus of hiding the things we don't want to see is on us. All we need to do is utilize the mute button, and like magic, the people whose posts we don't want to see will vanish.
"What would you do if you didn't have time to tailor comments to thousands of people who may never respond back? "
I don't have the time or will to try and talk to thousands of people. The only possible scenario where I might try to do that is if I was focused on selling them a product. In which case, I wouldn't be communicating so much as advertising.
