Minnowbooster was autocommenting with upgoat pictures only on posts where our customers ordered votes, not on posts where we were not wanted. We eventually stopped it to keep posts looking cleaner. The bot market was still in its infancy then and we were still learning what was acceptable.

I take it you are the developer behind Hive account@nfc then? If so you should consider that your memos are invasive to everyone as they are not just aimed at your customers, they are chain wide and poach on customers of every bot and delegation service. It is as socially unacceptable as standing outside a competitor’s barber shop handing out flyers from your competing business to patrons that walks in and out.

Furthermore the user experience will be increasingly spammy for users making use of notifier services such as GINAbot and Steemify.

I have also noted your hostile attitude in flagging my comment when I issued merely a warning without flagging any of your content.
