What I do when I spot such comment, I go to profile, check the activity of the account and report all the comments because they are all generated. I haven't come across any single generated comment from an account with 1+ followers and at least one non-generated comment or profile copy.

What are their motivations?
- intentionally vandalize?
- just "try things out" without giving a damn about the damage they are causing?
- optimize to me able to blend in without any other intention
- create followed account fast
Who are they?
- disoriented kids
- Russian trolls?
Threats & Challenges:
- will you report them on a launch day when they upvoted your product?
- they got better
- do you really want zillion of "positive feedback" comments if they are not genuine?
How to identify them with confidence?
- zero followers
- recent registration
- lots of long comments with suspicious "literary quality"
