New Chinese comment bots?
I've noticed a few of my friend's profiles getting spammed by these, and they only post emojis with weird-ass models/asian women in skimpy clothing... So great, scammers and no lifers learned to make steam comment bots? Edit: I mean weird as in edited with a bunch of chinese text over it)

Some of exoticism on profile you say?
New? Not really, no.

:nkCool:
Not new at all. Not even close.

It's malvertising. Described it here (QR-Code section and below)

The problem is that many users do not remove these comments from their profiles and thus ultimately endanger other people.

Unfortunately, this type of campaign happens every now and then on Steam. Even group chats are not spared from it.

Now I feel robbed. I got the emojis but not the skimpy clad women on my posts from them.

Certainly.These things come in waves and cycle over time.
One month is spam profile comments, next month is demands to log into some site for a tournament, false report support agents... Eventually it goes full circle and spam profile comments get in fashion again.
Hi!

I haven't gotten them yet, but I've noticed a few of my friends' profiles getting them...
I've gotten a flurry of them of late. I head to their profile, report them to Steam, block them, and then head back to my profile to delete their comments.

If I were to block strangers from commenting on my profile I'd not only lose access to a couple of useful purposes for profile comments, I'd also lose my ability to get those obnoxious people dealt with by Steam.

The ones that just say "gogo"?
The names are in Chinese. There's weird non-Chinese URLs with unfamiliar country codes at the end. Not that that really matters, it's pretty simple to buy an URL in any country code, whether you're actually based there or not.
happened to me couple days ago, i had enabled comments on my profile and suddenly two weird ass chinese accounts were posting emojis, one had some sort of link to its name and other just chinese name, both left emojis, i did delete them, but later account with link commented new emojis, no idea what they meant by it, so i kept deleting them, till it happened again and now i disabled public comments.

The fact that people even try this type of garbage just makes me dissapointed in humanity in general...

It is the fault of Valve and their bad moderation.
