spam is coming again

Companies hire people to spam with bots. Not really beneficial to there image but if it works I guess.

It also happens A LOT on tumblr and bluesky I’ve noticed. Just one second after my bluesky account was made I got a spam follower.

How much money do they even make for that? The rent can't be high enough for someone to do this. I guess it's more of a side hustle if you got old phones.

I guess it depends on where you live, you can get far on comparatively little depending on your cost of living, and it could be worth it for some.

Not really sure how long it takes to pay just the phone cost back though

To be fair some phones are cheap. You can get a old iPhone 8 for like eighty bucks. Bots don't need the most up to date hardware now do they?

It works simply because of the sheer volume. If only a fraction of people click on the link, the client has already achieved something. And the dangerous thing is not the advertising; sometimes Trojans or similar malware are hidden in the link.

I guess so. More clicks more ad revenue.
