Elon Musk X Pornbot Onslaught Going Full Tilt

 Parents, be wary of letting kids have X Twitter accounts. In addition to the vast amount of illegal material on X Twitter, there are also fake accounts that try to lure people into going to sites other than twitter that are at best pay for porn sites but more likely something worse like phishing or worse yet crooks out to victimize children. 

I just got another like-spam from a pornbot.

It is easy to envision a teenage boy full of new sex hormones falling for this kind of account. 


X by Musk: Porn spam fake girls with fake male names

The scam porn spam phishing gangs that fill X with like spam sometimes do it to you in rapid succession with multiple accounts that have the same display name, which I think might be to confuse you into thinking you have blocked and reported them all when you actually overlooked one. Sometimes you get multiple spam-likes from multiple accounts with clearly different names. 

Sometimes you get like-spam from accounts with female looking pictures and male looking names. Since nearly all the like spam comes from female presenting fake accounts, the use of a male name with an otherwise female presenting fake account might be done intentionally to trick you into thinking it is a legit account when you're looking in your notifications at a profile picture too small to see clearly.  The Joe Mitchell fake account here is one such. 


They are coming in so fast that I can't write a blog post and share it as fast as the like-spamming pornbots appear. 


Advertisers take note: There is so much porn and crypto-scam phishery on X you can't stop your ads from being associated with such criminal and annoying activity. 

I'm a long term use of Twitter and X, and I like some kinds of porn and I've owned some crypto, but I don't like fake engagement one bit. 

It's very common for ads in posts on X, if they allow replies, to have replies from criminal scammers and phishers. The connection between your product, your brand, and repulsive dishonesty will be established in your ads' readers. This will happen until Elon has X stop the spam problem. 

Dozens of fake likes a day on X is no exaggeration

 Dozens of fake likes a day on X under Elon Musk is no exaggeration. Here's another. 


This one has a non-slutty -non-whore looking woman picture, so it's a bit unusual.

Possibly the scum running this spam scam phishing operation want to change things up to increase the chance of getting someone to fall for their tricks.

The connection with porn and phishing is the link in the url. 

The link appears broken, fortunately. I don't know how this spam is supposed to make money for the crooks.



XTwitter by Elon Musk is a paradise for spammers

 I'm posting the spam I get on X Twitter, ie, ex-Twitter. 

This should cause me to make a dozen or more posts a day if I do one blog post per like-spam or crypto spam. 


X aka Twitter is a haven for scam and phish porn and crypot accounts

 When I complain about the scam and phishing problem on X in posts on X I sometimes get some empathy or sympathy, some commiseration, but I also get some comments saying I should shrug it off or disable notifications so I don't see notifications about the pornbots and cryptobots spam and phishing fake  engagement, but the most certain response to any post I make on X is like-spam from a pornbot  that I got as my first interaction with X (Twitter) after my hopefully final waking up for the day.


I am quite sick of this. Doing better than this regarding the creation of new accounts by scammers is a solved problem - it was better than this before the unfortunate purchase of X by Elon Musk and it's better than this on other sites. The scam-phishers appear to not only be making new accounts but either hacking  old accounts that were once regular accounts used by humans or acquiring old accounts from scam and phishing suppliers that create and hold on to accounts for criminal use later on or in some way I can't imagine. 

In the event any who advertise on X aren't aware of the scamming, phishing, pornbot, and cryptobot activity on X (Twitter) your ads will inevitably be associated with in X users' minds due to the constant flood of such fake engagement on X, even if they aren't on the screen at the same time see this post, consider putting your ad money somewhere else.

Pornbots on X Slutbots on X Spambots on X Fake Engagement WTF is wrong with X?

 The chat system formerly called Twitter, now called X, has a severe problem with fake engagement from fake accounts. There are various types of fake accounts doing fake engagements in different ways, but one of the most common is accounts that make a weak attempt to appear to be from highly sexualized women, often with gigantic breast implants and huge asses, implant or silicone lips, pancake makeup, lipstick the extends far beyond the edge of their lips, clothes made with an unwieldy number of tiny straps and nothing else. They might be picks of real people, sadly enough, or might be AI-distorted images of real people, or totally AI-generated.  They generally have a link in the bio to a site with a name like sweet cheeks dot com, sexy gals dot com, sweet girl online dot cam, or similar. 

They might be offering porn or text or voice chat in a somewhat legitimate way, but I suspect that they are mostly phishing scams hoping to get credentials to use in identify theft based crimes like clearing out bank accounts, filing fake tax returns to get bogus refunds, blackmail, or worse. 

Here is a screenshot of one of the general types of pornbot spambot whorebot scumbot like-spamming bots. 


I get dozens of fake likes from these fake accounts every day. It is by far the most common type of interaction I get from using X now after joining Twitter in 2008 and using it a great deal since.

I tried a month of Premium Plus X, i.e., the higher tier of the hated "Twitter Blue," to see what X's variant of a large language model, which Musk named Grok, thus spoiling a world coined by Robert Heinlein in his book Stranger In A Strange Land. As a consequence, I got access to a type of X support not offered to unpaying plebian X accounts. I asked this premium help system for help with the flood of pornbot spam and was told they only help with the features you get from paying for a Premium account. So there is no help for the X spam problem, aka the X pornbot problem, the X like-pam problem. 

I've canceled the X Premium Plus account and am returning to an unpaid account because I can't see paying to support a system that is much more effective at promoting rule-breaking, unethical, likely illegal phishing schemes than at genuine chat between real, non-ad revenue motivated human users. 

Here's more: 

Those three and perhaps more appeared during a 3 hour nap. 

I got some other types of spam during that nap, not pornbot spam this time, but crypto spam, a type of spam that uses multiple accounts to spread crypto scams, one account present a like to a third party site doing something unethical, most likely a phishing scam, and an army of accounts that make posts linking to the central scamming account. 
Here's what this type of spam scam post looks like. 

Blocking these accounts or reporting and blocking these accounts does no good, the accounts are free and easily made and the crooks and scum make thousands or more a day. 

Disabling a variety of notifications can keep you from being so aware of the massive bogus and criminal systems being run on Elon Musk's X site, but that doesn't keep others from seeing who likes your posts, and it does keep your posts from being deboosted because of engagement from less than worthless spam accounts. 

These days the account creation and operation might be totally automated, but there has long been a practice of running such unethical criminal schemes using extremely low-paid workers in poorer parts of the world, workers that are often minors, working atgrids of cheap phones. 

I wish I had some suggestions on how to deal with the problem other than to close your X account, but I don't. 

I have what some would call a severe X addiction, which used to be known as a Twitter addiction. It's how I fill my empty hours in my empty life in the last era of my life span. I'm trying to quit, but it's harder to quit than alcohol or cigarettes were. 

The flood of repulsive, unethical, criminal activity on X never stops. Here's another that happened during my nap or while writing this post. 



I stronger people not currently using X to not register.  

Certainly don't let minors join this hellhole of a site.
