Tell HN: My contact form is being spammed by bit.ly links
Over the past few weeks, my contact form has been non-stop spammed with bit.ly links, alongside text telling me that my domain has expired.
I've tried complaining to bit.ly through their contact form and through Twitter, with no response either time. It seems pretty incredible that a Silicon Valley venture backed service could let a scam run through its service, but maybe they need the revenue.
Regardless, I'm hoping I can publicly shame bit.ly into shutting down this scam, or at least their use of bit.ly .
- dyingkneepad 6y agoWhat? A Silicon Valley company is ignoring customer feedback? You don't have a way to talk to a human? The only way to be seen is to hope social media shaming will work? What a surprise!!!! Seriously, we need some laws to force these companies into actually allowing people to talk to humans and get answers from their unilateral decisions. Sometimes I think we're in the Bizarro timeline. I wonder when the heroes from the "main" universe will make an appearance in our universe.
