I really respect the fact that you asked for a reasonable amount of money for a limited period of time. I believe that small is beautiful.
I also see the value added by this automation. I think a lot of people are still hugely salty about old flags on other users trying to use automation in creative or not creative ways, or other people may generally
be against 'bots'.
But to me, we need 1000 more 1000-2000 dollar projects like this to get funded. Short time frame, measure results, next proposal please.
Front end can also eat these comment inputs and display them differently, as stats, if they feel like it would increase their clients user experience.
