Spammers

I have noticed it too. Why they do it is because they are junk as is their spam. It seems to be increasing and I have often thought that saying it takes 5 days before you can post might help eliminate  some of it. It would also be harder on new good members too.

It's simple, some people just don't have anything better to do, so they just annoy everyone else and that is their sole purpose in life. I know what I'd like to do with them but won't say it in polite society. Sure seems like there are a lot of these dimwits. May the fleas of a thousand camels take up residence in their undergarments!

I once got money making opportunities to join as many sites as possible earning big bucks for each implant. I obviously binned those posts, yes there were several and some came from Google! What some people will do to sell their garbage. They only need one out of every twenty or so sales to make money.

People do it because it works.   Old school mass mailings (which no one seems to cry about, even though the real world impact is much more severe) had about a 2% conversion rate.  That is, for every 100 offers sent, they'd get about 2 legitimate leads.  At 15 cents (anyone miss that symbol on their keyboard?  I do!)  a mailing, you can do the math to figure out how much you needed to send, and to whom, to make it worth your while.

Now take that and increase the scale by orders of magnitude, and divide the cost by thousands.   If I can get even two people to respond out of the million emails or messages my bot posted at a cost of literally pennies, I've made my money back.

I've got the UK keyboard and it hasn't even got the pence key. Got the £, $ and Euro (obviously not on my tablet) but no scrap values.

I won't hold out on you.
