The theory is it becomes exponentially more difficult to post spam in a cost-effective manner. As a nice added benefit, the spammers are also now directly funding your site, essentially paying you for the hassle of having to deal with them.
- jeltz 3y agoThe first thing is not true for many sorts of spam. For example a lot of the people who destroy google search results do it manually and even pay for domain names tp do so. It is more difficult but I would say only slightly more so. And worst of all it is likely that spsmmers are willing to pay a higher price than your genuine users. Spam can be highly profitable. That they make you a profit is true though, but that is both good and bad. It finds your antispam work but could also create perverse incentives where you want spsmmers.
