@gamingonlinux @AndyGER New genre of spam post: "Try our new AI POWERED spam post detection software!" @gamingonlinux I get a lot of those even for my own website, which is just a hole in the wall compared to yours. It is quite annoying. They seem to go in waves too. This week it's been all about trying to sell me on bookkeeping services. Last week it was all about phone service. So weird... @gamingonlinux we get these too. Itโs not spam, so they are never marked as them but ugh are they annoying. @gamingonlinux @gamingonlinux I get this shite for my blog as well. They ever have the gall to send a follow-up or two after they don't get a reply. @gamingonlinux Sometimes for fun, and probably I have an inner troll, I reply to these kinds of emails. Sometimes I act really naive and dumb and string them along for a bit, or I just flat-out troll and reply to them with "Hi {%spam_marking_co}, I received your email and have forwarded to dev/null. Please await my immediate response from there." Etc. I think I might be secretly evil. @gamingonlinux If the mails are somehow real, I answer with a quite high price for a paid article. Something like 1.800โฌ per week on the front-page of my blog. But always marked as "paid content". Sometimes they reply with "that's over the budget" and if they could get a discount. But sorry, discount is only available for long term bookers. Above 20k advertisements. Then they stfu.๐ @gamingonlinux I can relate, we receive a LOT of emails like that daily, and it's pretty annoyingโฆ @gamingonlinux yeah, or people on Twitch trying to sell channel art. It's very annoying. @gamingonlinux mine is the same. I must get 200 emails a day offering "guest posts", cheap tat to review, scam sponsorship offers and plenty more. I've even started getting people trying to sell me their various services like video editing by telling me I'm an amateur with wasted potential! Amazing sales technique! |
@gamingonlinux There is a spam folder for that ... ;-)
