- The author's blog attracts many legitimate comments but also spam, which is mostly filtered by Antispam Bee.
- A sneaky spam attempt involved three fake comments appearing as a conversation, with the middle one containing a hidden casino link.
- All three comments came from the same IP in the Philippines, were posted three minutes apart, and likely used AI-generated, shallow content.
- This tactic made the spam less noticeable by mimicking genuine conversational replies, highlighting the challenge of combating spam without discouraging real engagement.
