There used to be two kind of SPAM, chain resource spam and mental spam.
Content discovery suffers from mental SPAM. For chain spam, beside my doubt that the witnesses and Steemit are competent enough to make the chain sustainable resource-wise, I think what you're doing would be beneficial long term. Assuming it's not malicious and you would tone it down when you see it's putting the viability of the whole chain at risk.
BTW No idea if it's what FTG was up to.
Ftg is archiving forum threads that he finds valuable to steem as a backup.
Bernie is spamming everyone else's posts cos he's desperate for more ego stroking.
