From that perspective it is interesting, alright.

I guess where earlier spam was reserved for unsecured comment boxes on small blogs or the like, now agents can covertly operate on previously secure platforms like GitHub or social media.

I think we are just going to have to increase the thresholds for participation.

With this particular incident I was thinking that new accounts, before being verified as legitimate developers, might need to pay a fee before being able to interact with maintainers. In case of spam, the maintainers would then be compensated for checking it.
