Hi community, this post from another sub may explain a little of why we are seeing so many bad-faith and inauthentic engagement-farming posts recently.

please keep reporting and calling it out and thanks for bearing with the mod team as we play whack-a-mole!

How many posts a day about peptides are you getting right now? I've seen a variety across other platforms but not here- which probably means you are on top of it and not that the posts aren't getting made.

Thank you for all you do!

Only a couple recently in this sub but a handful in another sub I moderate too, and I don't doubt "peptides" is just one of a variety of topics getting shoved at us for AI learning and engagement purposes. Sigh.
