Today And spam

So today I have just been messing around with some random ideas. For some reason, I was thinking about doing something with a naga transformation. Maybe I should focus more on those other games I was working on, but I know I am bad at coming up with random ideas and getting distracted, that is why I have the day off to explore those things though!

On a side note, looking at all the spam posts I get all the time I can’t help but wonder if there is actually writers who are hired full time to just write fake spam posts. Seems like there is an art to it, making really vague posts that could apply to any website and also trying to flatter the person so you can convince them you are not a scumbag scam artist.

A typical spam post is something like, “Wow amazing post, I never considered that before. You really made me think.” But it is like a comment on a post from two months ago talking about bimbos or something. Yeah, you just randomly found that specific post insightful? The biggest mistakes they often make is calling something an article(what articles am I posting?).

I am actually kind of impressed that they can say the same vague, commentary bs a thousand different ways(maybe it is actually just a computer program doing it?). In a capitalistic way, it is kind of impressive the lengths they will go to try to get just a little extra traffic to their website or whatever. Though ultimately I have to wonder what these people are doing with their lives, that they chose to make a living by spamming thousands, perhaps millions of people online just in hopes that some of the spam will sneak past the filters so maybe a tiny fraction of the people who see the fake post will go to the website that is hidden in their user name. The success rates have to be absolutely horrendous and this wouldn’t even be possible with automated posting bots.

    I understand your pain, I also often have to deal with bots that spam in PM on social networks. it is both annoying and frustrating at the same time, cz I know I can’t do anything with their influx. I wish you to do well, because you doing a great job.
