I know spam posts have been around for a while but not like this.

I'm in the Fediverse for the lack of advertising as much as anything else but this may as well be R****t.

Apologies for the rant, please lmk if I'm missing something obvious.

Thanks.

No idea what a "cracked software spam post" would look or be like but I don't think I've ever seen one.

Each post is about a cracked version of a usually popular piece of commercial software. There's been loads of them.

It’s likely malware inside that cracked software too, as it’s being promoted by the poster

I often sort by new and saw a lot. If you’re sorting by active it might’ve been removed by the time you got to it.

Ah ok. Yeah I usually sort by Top 6hr

I've seen one today and one yesterday. It's basically a post saying "Here's this great software that does this and this. Download a cracked version here for free!"
