I agree PJ, I have noticed an increase in numbers and I believe that the most insistent of all have built AI bots that do the link dropping for them. You can tell which ones are doing that as they will drop the same article on all your stories across all the Facebook groups.
Sadly, I’ve found that the admins don’t do anything about them, which is why I come up with my strategy. I was sick of giving them all free reads.
I haven’t noticed the Vocal writers dropping multiple links and trying to force feed people but I’ll definitely keep an eye out for that as I don’t think that is right either.
Thank you PJ for taking the time to read and respond my friend.
