Spam triggered by a keyword?

[TheBeardedBaby]

Every day there's a new surprise here on the forum from the spammers. lol
I saw a few ads of a tax service on a popular block explorer some time ago. I checked the forum and saw they had also a signature campaign here and decided to ask if people used it before and what they think about it.

So yesterday I started a thread with a question about a reliable tax service and mentioned the one I found.

Not so long after (1H), a few accounts registered and posted a positive feedbacks about it.

Maybe I had some hope about this service but after this shit posting, my confidence in them when like this.

Anyway, back to the topic. Either some shitposter decided to farm new accounts, or there's a service to leave positive feedback about services triggered by keywords.

Please don't report those shitposters yet. I want to see if I can collect more accounts to be busted together.

This has been going on for years, in many topics. They spam something that may be slightly on-topic, often with an irrelevant story. My guess it they're a combination of sweatshop workers and bots. And some topics are just filled with spam.

Would it be beneficial to test it out again? Like creating a thread with that specific keyword or brand name in the post?

Maybe there would be more farmed accounts or something related to that when there's a new post.
