I am asking because I don’t want to participate in a spam farm.

I noticed this with 2 accounts:

  • Townflex, @stermy4u@lemmy.world ;
  • The CyberSec Guru, @UnLocoPoco@lemmy.world .

Why is no one acting pro-actively, to prevent the platform from turning bad? Why did no mod or admin notice this?

    A lot of the time this is just AI-generated trash, not an actual person linking to their stuff. They are both scammers and spammers.

    Townflex is AI plagiarism repackaging trending stories to siphon clicks.

    I haven’t deep dived into the cybersecguru but there isn’t a single named human being associated with that site. One “person” claims to have written maybe 15000 words of journalism in the last 24 hours and doesn’t want credit. This is from their About page:

    My name is The CyberSec Guru, and I’m the founder of The CyberSec Guru. I’ve been fascinated by technology and online security since my High School days.

    Again, I haven’t spent a lot of time looking, but this is probably AI slop.
