Is it considered spam because of its substance or because it's repeated verbatim?

E.g. if I take the same exact comment but paraphrase it every time I post it, would that be ok?

The reason I ask is because I see a few accounts post the same tired criticism of bitcoin over and over and see no reprisal for spam.

I would be interested in understanding what the objective rule here is, since I checked the guidelines and could not find references to comment spam definition.

Thanks.

Paraphrasing the same thing would not be ok either. People are here for conversation, not repetition.
