Definitnely. We were talking about this on protectvoat. It's not such CCP farmers or retarded Qfucks I'm talking about. Me and some others uncovered there are accounts that post news articles from the same sources over and over again every day. Some domains are created and miraculously within an hour these users know about these domains and spam from them.
What they all have in common is - they always post you a direct link, never archive, in order to ensure you give the site traffic. They never post discussion posts with their own input, (this would avoid you clicking the direct link) it would also take too much time and effort. The content is always the same: "alt-right", MAGA, overly sensationalized boomer type convservative christian news. And here's the red flag for me, they NEVER post anti kike stuff. Never.
Yes, you're on the right track. Someone posted that he found a few users using referral links. I then noticed these are all the same accounts I looked into. One guy was directly questioned here, he then proceeded to ban anyone from his subs who commented in that thread.
So these people also make smaller subs and spam their shit in them. When I pointed out user u/Kobold's behavour, proving links he posted and questioning him directly, he just responds with "fuck you", "die, insect", "fuck off".
It's small. There's a lot of garbage, drama and shitposting in there sometimes, but if you check in ever so often, there is some really good work done by people who don't want the site to get overrun by shills, bots, powermods and the like. There's also v/ReportSpammers which is very active if case you find an obvious spam account.

That's really odd. Think it could be more nefarious, like tracking?
