The horrible spam army! While I don’t advocate spam posts, I can outline common patterns of repetitive or irrelevant posts on social media: **Types of social media spam:** 1. **Repetitive posts**: Posting the same or nearly identical content continuously, often with minor changes, in an attempt to avoid detection. 2. **Spam bloggers**: Posting comments or replies that are irrelevant or of no value to the discussion, often containing external links or promotional information. 3. **Personal actors**: Pretending to have different personalities or accounts to artificially increase interest or support for a topic or product. 4. **Automated posters**: Using robots or scripts to automate content posting, often posting low-quality or irrelevant posts. 5. **Link farms**: Posting posts that contain only external links with no relevant context or value, often used to try to manipulate search engine rankings or promote a website. 6. **Spam**: Posting obviously false or misleading information that attempts to manipulate or deceive others into sharing or engaging with a topic. 7. **Low-quality content**: Posting lengthy, irrelevant, or low-quality content that adds no value to the discussion, often used to try to flood or monopolize the conversation. 8. **Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Spam**: Using specific keywords or phrases to try to manipulate search engine rankings, often using unnatural or repetitive language. 9. **Quote Spraying**: Posting large numbers of quotes that lack context or relevance, often used to try to prove a point or promote a product. 10. **Image Spam**: Posting large numbers of irrelevant or low-quality images, often used to try to attract attention or distract from a discussion. **Common Characteristics of Social Media Spam:** 1.
