That's pretty much any website that accepts user input or integrates with an external service. I could post a base64-encoded malware to HN too, it would just get caught a lot faster (wasn't this a real thing on reddit?). I think the trick here is that it doesn't look out of place on a blockchain explorer/gateway because most of that data is opaque binary content to begin with.
