Is it bad to give too many favs to newfound accounts?

General
I have done it a good couple of times already; I see a draw or a character that I like, so I visit the gallery of the account to see if there's more arts of the character or with the same style.
If I found that the account has a great amount of draws that I like, wether is an artist or a person who commission arts of their characters, I scroll through the gallery giving favs all around to all those draws that I like, and even comment on some if I have something to say, just like I would do with others draws I see online... and give a watch to the account if I like it enough.
It had never seemed to bother them, and some had even taken the time to thank me for the favs and reply to a bunch of all those comments I gave.
But now, an artist blocked me literally because I gave him a lot of favs...
I realized it when I was about to give a fav to the new art he posted, a while after I found him and gave the favs and watch; then it told me that I can't give favs to someone who blocked me.
I reached to the person's Twitter to ask him why did he block me if I just gave favs and good comments... he said that he basically thought I was a random creep who was spamming on every commission...
I explained that I was just... well, showing that I like the arts he made, and commenting as I would with any art... I mean, that's what the fav is for, right? To show that you like what they do...
I still apologized for (apparently) looking like a creep; he said "it's okay" but when I asked if he were gonna unblock me, he didn't want to...... he also blocked me on Twitter too...

There's definitely no such thing as too many faves, lol. I'm happy when someone goes and faves a lot of my gallery (tho am just a commissioner).
For comments, well, about how many comments are we talking about?
Can imagine really pointless ones like "Nice" on 5 works in a row could be perceived as an annoyance, but again you never know beforehand what bothers someone in particular. So don't sweat it :)
Who knows if he has had weird experiences before with spammers and is just being super cautious... every mind is a different world...
For now I'll just think he has faced weird experiences before and don't have much trust
