Posting this as a solution to a 2014 question:

May I simply say what a relief to discover someone that truly
knows what they're discussing over the internet.

You certainly realize how to bring an issue to light and make it important.
A lot more people need to look at this and understand this side of your
story. I can't believe you aren't more popular given that you surely
have the gift.

I'm guessing it'll get the payload added later - probably football shirts, it fits the pattern

Trying to create his "own bot-farm of fake livestream viewers" He had one "To order from SMM panel providers live audience. Around 5K viewers but it lasted for only 2 hours."

This article How to stop wasting engineering time on technical debt[^] contains several links - many are perfectly valid references but several are to a blog on the company website.

It's actually an interesting article but is too site-driving for me which is why I've reported it as spam but I'm not reporting the joined-yesterday member...yet

*****************************************************************************
EDIT - Please see the response from OG below
Having looked at it again, I agree with OG that it should be a blog, in which case the links would be fine (in this case).

For me the pictures are way too big, and it's a blog entry rather than an article.
Spam? Not convinced - as a blog the links would be fine. As an article it's too "opinion heavy" rather than "fact related" for my taste anyway.

There was a bug, if a blog got edited it would change to an article and wouldn't be possible to change it back zo blog.

Maybe is the bug still active.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Joined yesterday, and his first question links to his "replica watches" site.

Might almost be considered a rookie mistake, except for the fact that in his profile he describes himself as a "digital Marketer", and on his site he's an "SEO EXPERT".
