This is the economy of pulling info out of humans. One of the worst examples of this is Quora. You answer a question... and days later... you get emails from Quora asking about related, but not entirely related questions about the same topic... I was baffled, how come I answered a very niche like question and someone already asks about more details. I checked the question and there was no author displayed. So, in essence a bot created more questions about the same topic. So you are feeding a bot, as it tries to wrestle more and more information out from you. What an ugly scheme.

The very same people they charge to use their platforms at that.
