    Indeed. The spam floods from SEA have been stopped. They will now
    move to other social media platforms, hopefully tiktok.

    The two confusing parts of the spam flood that I never understood was
    what were they trying to accomplish (since their spam made no sense
    when read)?

    And why didn't google just put a stop to it? For example if the same
    account spams a thousand messages, all they have to do is ban it.

    google is all about money. Groups weren't making any.

    Look at what they have done to YouTube. 15 second ad + another 4 second
    ad (before it can be cancelled) to listen to the beginning of 3 minutes
    of music to see if you even like it. Many of the ads are woke and
    insulting. It's not worth it.
