I don't like the idea of bots posting like this, it is just spam. The charts themselves are 99% unintelligible in my opinion.

Ban it I say, if the owner has something worth sharing, he can share it himself

I think he should fill them in to smooth surfaces and post a short video of how they evolve in time for the last 6,12 or 24 hours instead of all the instantaneous snapshots ... and rotate the perspective back slightly ... or have like a tunnel view down the center of the walls and play it as a movie as you fly through it (forward in time)

^^ this.

A gif would make sense.

Actually I made a gif a few days ago and it wasn't as revealing as expected, mainly because the values on the price axis will move but the main line where bids and asks "meet" remains kind of static (bottom of the valley always in the middle of the picture) beginning with the first set of values.

That's solvable by making the axis a fixed variable colour flowing throughout the whole spectrum. From image to image it would be quick and easy to spot when the axis has moved by doing this, and when it occurs gradually over many many images it'll look nice too.
