People who regularly use Google Groups for Apple II discussions in comp.sys.apple2 are no doubt dismayed by the large number of FOREIGN language, off-topic articles which are too frequently posted.
These users will find the Apple II discussions at Mac GUI are free from
these off-topic posts. Take a look:
https://macgui.com/usenet/?group=1
Those who register at Mac GUI can access all the same Apple II newsgroups, with the same complete archives dating back to the 1980s. There is also an option to receive digests via email.
The Italian messages are a BIG nightmare. The newsgroup is barely
readable now. Perhaps, I should switch to David's site.

As for the original post about "David's site" ... posting a spam advertising message for a website as a complaint about spam messages seems rather hypocritical.
Usenet is not a free advertising space for other people to use for anything.

You're kidding right?
I gave up on reporting those messages to Google after a while. They
seemed
to stop for a bit over the summer but now they're back in force. I guess I'll just have to migrate over to Mac GUI then as the google groups
version
is quickly becoming unusable.
I assume that these are just spam bots targeting every usenet forum and they're not targeting the Apple II forum specifically. I wonder if all
the
remaining usenet groups will have a similar problem?

Just use a proper Usenet service and newsreader app, instead of crappy
Google Groups. I use the free nntp.aioe.org newsserver and haven't seen
any "Italian messages".

Good for you, but it doesn't make it any less of a spam message.
Usenet is not a free advertising space, despite what far too many selfish morons like to believe.
Google Groups is not Usenet, neer has been. Google Groups is and always has been complete garbage. Get a proper Usenet newsreader app and newsserver.

Ah, you're one of those people. Say no more.
I think so, but I've never used it. AIOE.org is completely free, you
don't even need to sign up for any account.

Are you too advertising another service?
Wasn't there some guy who in message-ID <sjt0lf$601$1@gioia.aioe.org>
said, "Usenet is not a free advertising space for other people to use for anything."

I've used it and continue to, ever since my previous ISP dropped their
feed.
I also get fed up with the Italian spam messages, so I implemented a >kill-file. It works quite well, provided I update it periodically.

Missed opportunity to call it "The Italian Job". :-)
