I have had a look, there were no links (at least before) and I went for off-topic

EDIT: Ok, now there are a lot of links to linkedin profiles and his post over there. I would start thinking that you are right. Still I would say it is more Site Driving than spam

@Sean-Ewington would you have a look? I think the article deserves deletion for sure, but... what do you say about the user?

It's like repainting it, but quicker and cheaper: sheets of plastic are printed and applied to the car over the existing paint - hence the "wrap".
Since you don't need to dismantle or even mask off any parts it's cheaper than a respray, and you can add patterns, pictures, whatever you want.

Done right it can look good, done badly ... not so much.

Profile: Olivia Eve - Professional Profile[^]
Solution: Fb like button iframe convert it into popup window[^]

The above solution is a new member, their first post, and has dual screen support for a simple popup window for a FB like button. Dual screen support was never asked for, so sounded alarm bells to go check.

Whilst not a typical ChatGtp solution, but, the last paragraph smells of a blog post or SO answer. A quick search does not identify an exact match but plenty of examples with the same dual-screen calculation code.

I have not flagged the solution or author, however asking for feedback/thoughts before I decide the right action to take...

I would agree - that reeks of ChatGPT, and the addition of unasked for dual monitors cements that.
Troll and plagiarism for me.
