I moderate a medium-sized development subreddit. The sheer volume of spam advertising some AI SaaS company has skyrocketed over the past few months, like 10000%. Comment spam is now a service you can purchase [0][1], and I would not be surprised if Z.ai engaged some marketing firm which ended up purchasing this service. There are YC members in the current batch who are spamming us right now [2]. They are all obvious engagement-bait questions which are conveniently answered with references to the SaaS.
