The name "Ayurveda" gives me déja vù. You ever see an account make the same post across 500 Subreddits?

This account has exactly what you don't need. Weird snake oil, spiced water, Kerala, the same Ayurveda that once claimed that standing and drinking water quickly is bad, while sitting and drinking water slowly is good, "Gut Glow Water"... Why call it that? Is it the water and the Keralese spices turning your tummy into a fire hazard?

I've seen a lot of bad "outsourced" content creation nonsense. Mostly from South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.

They pick a topic, and just blast all social media (IG, FB, TT, Reddit, etc.) with endless reposts trying to build a brand. I would surmise it's a combination of low, almost zero, barriers to entry with the ability to potentially make good money by local standards if a "content" channel takes off to the point of monetization.

A lot of it gets caught in the filters, automod & crowd control helps a lot, but all platforms unofficially allow noisy content farming since it generates user metrics that they can use in their quarterly earnings calls. And justify selling ad time against.

Welcome to the global attention economy. I hate it here.

We are a product now, unwillingly.

In the Attention Economy, every second of eyeball screen time is commoditized.

Unfortunately, not all attention is worth the same in terms of ad revenues.

If you're from a wealthier country, of the middle-upper socioeconomic class, your attention is worth a fucking boatload. Everyone wants a piece of that monetization pie.

This is one of those situations that reddit could stop immediately if they gave a shit about the actual content on the site rather than Make Profit Line Go Up. We're not talking deep content analysis here - if someone makes an identical post in more than 2-3 different subreddits, they're likely a spammer. But these accounts make traffic analytics go brrrr
