All three above @grayruby are designated spammers now. 😜
Haha. I wouldn't say that but they may have all participated in some spamming.

Ohh yeah 👍
I don't think they would mind if I call them as the greatest spammers on SN. If they win I would award them with spammer trophies.

It is absolutely a riggable prediction market.
- Load up on yes shares
- Find a territory with the lowest post/comment fees
- Automate post/comment creation.
- Repeat
Even if you’re outlawed, the item count should still go up.
And also even for freebies, I think?
Maybe SN has rate limiting in place, which could slow you down

We still need 1756 comments on an average daily from now on. The average SN is doing now is still below this average. It's easier said than done. It would require more than 1 stacker to put up the hard work and their says of course. Just for instance if we fall short of 500 comments daily we need 500 sats for 250 days which will be 125k sats in the end. Alright you can do it, I guess. But then there's the lack of equal liquidity on the market. Right now if you want to buy 100k yes shares, you can buy only for 94k sats which leaves you with a paltry 6k sats. Then the overall loss you would have is around 119k sats.
First the market needs more naysayers or more buying of No shares to fill in the pot, then and then only it might be profitable to put the work and the sats.
However I don't think it would be worth the effort.

Yeah, complaining isn't a good thing when it's not something that we can do anything about. But Don't stop mocking them, they deserve it.

Etymology spam
The original sense (canned ham) is a proprietary name registered by Geo. A. Hormel & Co. in U.S., 1937. It is presumed to be a conflation of either "spiced ham" or "shoulder of pork and ham"[1] but was soon extended to other kinds of canned meat. Hormel spells the trademarked name in all upper case.
The use for unsolicited and unwanted email derives from a Monty Python sketch (Flying Circus, Episode 25). In the 1970 sketch, a group of Vikings in a restaurant repeatedly chant the word "spam". The earliest recorded real-life use for this sense occurs around 1993 which finds reference in a newsgroup post dated March 31, 1993.
The term appears to have been used earlier in a different sense in relation to "Multi-User Dungeons" (MUDs), a kind of multi-user computer gaming environment before widespread use of the Internet, in the 1980s.
