No, I don't think there is. There was an interesting The Atlantic article posted the other day that touches on what you mentioned that's worth a read: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2021/08/dead-...

I've developed mod-bots for Reddit that are meant to combat garbage bot accounts and garbage youtube channels but it's an unending onslaught of garbage.

Cheers. I do this type of thing on Reddit constantly as it's an unending tide of garbage there. I saw someone posting a fake MSNBC clone site the other day and it was tied to a dozen other fake clone sites just like it, these fake-site networks are everywhere if you poke around a bit.

This is a stolen/uncredited rehost on a garbage blog from a Russian source from almost a month ago: https://www.ixbt.com/news/2021/08/24/4600-chery-qq-ice-cream...

This website has the same content word for word in English, likely just put through Google Translate: https://www.worldstockmarket.net/a-modern-electric-car-for-4... but properly cites the Russian blog.

I was able to find the original source by reverse-searching the images used. IXBT cites another Russian blog as the source https://newsyou.info/chery-predstavil-neobychnyj-elektromobi... but altered the wording. That blog in turn cites another Russian blog with different wording: https://avtodream.org/vse-novosti/novinki/40708-chery-predst... which cites yet another Russian blog incorrectly and the trail is lost.

Regardless, the OP site isn't the original source and the site itself is barely a year old, consisting entirely of stolen content. That site is also tied to another 4 day old website that consists entirely of stolen content: technewsspace.com - the sites share the same Google Adsense code: CA-pub-8819900454201426

This post is plain spam.

Thank you for the note! I'm not a regular user here and don't know how the moderation/administration of posts works here, so the email is greatly appreciated.

Funny, I came from Reddit where I chased this guy out from and they suffer the exact opposite problem. https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/vbz49j/new-study-...

This article is stolen from another blog. OP is a serial content thief who rehosts other peoples content on Vocal.Media for ad revenue. They're now targetting HN with their spam and they were busted the other day: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28509445 and again last night: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28538985

Edit: and now this one too, pew pew! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28540643

Edit 2: to clarify, this article was stolen from here: https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/life-culture/why-dont-rich-...

It is/was. The OP is a serial content thief and was flagged just the other day for it again: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28509445 - theyve been stealing/rehosting content for years on various blog sites and mass-spamming reddit with clickbait articles like this.

Medium has the "Claps" program and Vocal.Media has an ad-rev share program.

More than happy to but I have many years worth of evidence I can show and I'd rather not spam this post with the info. Is there someone I can DM my evidence to? To start, I actually found this post via his current reddit account: https://redd.it/pnbi59 Deleted to hide, of course - that's his M.O. One can't prove he's a spammer from a casual glance since he covers his tracks and deletes stuff constantly. It's trivial to dig his posts out of archives and point to 20 variations of the same name that's been banned on medium or the same 20 accounts posting the same 50 or so stolen clickbait articles he regularly reposts year after year.

Edit: a plain account ban won't work, he'll just make more accounts. Mods/admins need to be creative here since he'll just rotate his IP and be back an hour later.

The OP is a serial content thief who's been spamming Reddit for more than a decade and has been shadowbanned/suspended dozens of times. He rotates through Medium.com and Vocal.Media sub-sites like this and rehosts other people's work as his own. That's literally all he does all day for a living. Looks like he's set his sights on HN now, too.

How did you figure out the optimal reinforcement schedule for behaviors? That doesn't seem like something you can just brute force with number crunching.
