- koolba 4y agoThat’s a not so simple calculation as comparing the raw request process time isn’t the complete picture. Spam bot content must be persistently stored, indexed, archived, etc so the long term cost is much more than the one off POST to create the entity. You’d also have to quantify the improved user experience from seeing less spam v.s. inflated ad revenue for garbage views / content.
