Why does this site attract so much spam?

Asked by Mimishu1995 (23629points) August 3rd, 2015

I already know that Fluther isn’t a very popular site on the internet, thanks to Google (in fact I found this site because I typed the name directly on Google). I rarely see a question here appear on Google when I google anything. Some jellies here complain about how the site’s popular status attracts so few newbies. There are many more popular Q&A sites on the internet that people can find like Y!A and Quora.

However, as we can see, spammers come here everyday. Spammers spam in many languages and for sites from many countries, and for many products, many of which aren’t native in America.

So that makes me wonder, how do spammers find Fluther in the first place? Many spammers aren’t Americans or at least native English speakers, how do they come here?
