@askrafiki will probably not respond since it is an AI bot.
This is another typical SEO spam account created through Ecency.
They have been regularly popping up on a daily basis for the past 4 years.
There have been thousands of these accounts created in Ecency.
Blacklisted on February 2nd.
I know that it is a bot, but isn´t it supposed to answer, when mentioned? Anyway.
I am wondering how one comes on the list. There might be legit accounts created via ecency.
None of these accounts is legit. If they were, I wouldn't add them to this blacklist group.
You might be presuming that I don't do proper and detailed work when investigating the accounts.
No, I don´t presume anything, just wondering how one can define what is legit and what not. Just asking for the criteria you are applying. I also don´t want to send automated welcome messages to fraudulent accounts but struggle to sort them out.
All these accounts follow the same MO.
Created with Ecency (or appreciator).
They don't engage with anyone.
They post SEO spam (articles about some businesses, casinos, gambling sites, prostitution services (escort), etc).
Mostly blog posts (usually just 1 post ever, or they post again after a few months).
Occasionally, SEO comments. Many also simply add SEO spam in their description with no activity on the blog.
The content used to be plagiarism or copypasta years ago. Now it is mostly AI-generated SEO content.
Most of them have links to businesses and contacts in their descriptions.
All that seems automated.
Just check any of these accounts you see in the image. These are just recently added.
I check Ecency-created accounts regularly and check each newly created account manually to sieve out that trash.
Thanks, makes sense!
