Every blog is pretty isolated from other users.
It's not that the content will be popped up to everyone when someone posted something.
There's a Feed page where you can read what others you follow have published.
There's a Explore page where latest content without any filter or categorization would be visible. This is where such content would appear, but only blogs older than 7 days would appear there (we have removed that delay in recent versions).
Basically no one noticed them.
Although we disclosed the issue we were dealing with some of the old users of platform when they complained about their posts not getting published. That was the first issue in first 15 minutes of the machine learning model classifying wrongly due to being fed mixed content (where bad content was mixed with good content from those exact blogs by spammers.)
Other than several bloggers reporting their posts wouldn't go through as expected, no one else got effected and I hope no people were lured with those scammer while their content was published on our platform.
