The blog is being spammed again, but the filters are holding. Below is a sample of what’s being sent:

“Your posts are the heartbeat of motivation and gratitude that keeps our spirits alive. Thank you for the constant pulse of positivity!”

“In a world where truth can be elusive, this blog stands tall as a fortress of accurate and well-organized news. Thank you!”

“In the vast sea of online information, this blog is a lighthouse guiding us towards truth and structure. Joyful to have found it!”

These three seem to be repeating or a slight variation. You think AI? Or a script being hacked by some illiterate alliterate Pakistanis?
