To clarify: OpenSpot doesn’t have a feed, followers, or any social mechanics. There’s no algorithm pushing content or encouraging endless posting. When we say “create content,” we mean things like a short video intro, showcasing past work, or writing a quick blurb about what makes you unique — all on your profile, not for public engagement farming.
The spammers, the SEO farmers, the porn merchants won't care.
A link is a link.
I've been tackling spam for 15+ years and you will get hit. I wish it were not the case, but it is. Expect it.
Spam is not machine-generated content?
If it is so, I don't see the problem with that. Sure, you'll have the fake-happy and fake-positive content, but they'll not be force fed to you.
Most links are nofollow these days. Those still provide SEO value. Google will find your site very suspicious if your dofollow to nofollow ratio is too high.
For implicit algorithms, outside of the issues/misincentives of time-sorted feeds, there's also game theory and behavioral economics.
