[PD-dev] [OT] spambots that deliver compliments?

I'm somewhat confused by these recent comments to the bug tracker
(tickets 3514520, 3514538, 3514563).  There appears to be a spambot
out there that just enters non-descript compliments into web forms.

Who would write such a thing?  I thought spambots were created for
phishing scams, selling fake products, or boosting link counts to
unscrupulous websites (which are motivations I can understand even if
I disagree with them).  This one appears to have no purpose at all
except to provide encouragement to bloggers.  It's just weird.
