Once upon a time on Steemit network, there was a sea of posts, upvotes and comments made by active users, but also by some bots.
There were so many upvoting bots, commenting bots, flagging bots and they were usually working for some active user who programmed them to do what he wants. Even many active users programmed their active profiles to work for them while they are not online. So those bots were upvoting or/and commenting and some even commented without giving upvotes. The most of them used copy/paste comments and they were harassing active users usually with words:
"Follow me, I'll follow you", or "Great post", or "Thanks for sharing", or just "Visit my blog".
They were not original at all and they mostly hoped that someone will upvote them accidentally.
But somewhere in the crowd of these upvoting bots, in the chaos of noisy comments, one of these bots was unusually quiet and sad. He was diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome. He had a lot of facial and body tics, but even the worse, he was among 10% of those with Tourette's who had Coprolalia and that's a disorder with symptoms of uncontrolled swearing and usage of inappropriate words.
So, he was walking from post to post as he was programmed for that, but when he wanted to paste the comment that his owner gave him to use, the words just didn't come out of him as they should.
His comments sounded like this:
"Vagina!", or "Your mother is a fuckin brontosaurus!", or even "You stupid moron, you look like a pig with hemorrhoids",
... instead of:
"Great post, please upvote this comment!", shitty words for which he was programmed.
And he didn't realize that he was doing something wrong until he didn't earn his first flag! He was just walking around the network, leaving his unusual comments and on one post he commented just:
"You penis!".
The active user who wrote the post saw the comment and flagged it!
The bot with Tourette's was brokenhearted!
Other commenting bots were mocking and laughing at him and he didn't have any friends who could help him.
He tried to contact the user who made him and ask him to correct the disorder, but he wasn't successful.
One day, he decided that it was enough and that he will commit suicide. So he came to the bridge, said "goodbye" to Steemit and jumped to the ocean.
He hoped to get drowned but unnamed whale saved him and took him to the shore. The tremendous whale asked him:
"What's wrong, little bot? Why are you trying to kill yourself?"
The bot answered:
"I can't express myself with words, you sucker, and I can't do for what I was programmed for, you thick on the world's asshole!"
Then, the patient whale started to encourage little bot with Tourette's:
"Listen, little guy, I understand your problem! You didn't wish to have this disorder. After all, nobody wants to be sick or disturbed! It's because higher forces decided that and we can do nothing about that! But you must know that all copy/paste commenting bots will be flagged! You will not be flagged because your content is original! Your words maybe sound bad, but you don't mean any harm. People on Steemit will eventually see that and you will become their favorite commenting bot! Now go! Keep doing what you did so far and everything is going to be fine!"
The bot thanked to whale for rescuing him and for these nice words and came back to work.
In few days, everything what the whale said came true. Boring commenting bots made active users really mad and many of them got flagged. But little bot with Tourette's syndrome became the favorite bot on Steemit. Everybody knew that he doesn't mean anything bad and people started to see his comments as something that can cheer them up!
Nobody got insulted by the comments like:
"You smell like shit, I can't smell you through my monitor!",
... or when he commented to a pretty girl:
