A lot of spam comes from userbots that go into public groups, list all users and search all links to other groups.</p><p>We&#39;ve seen bot X see al ink and a different boyt joins that group almost immediately :C</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@mcc" class="u-url mention">@<span>mcc</span></a></span> I also am not sure that I really buy the argument that they need *more* money. They get $510 million from Google in a single year. Even at a $200k salary, that&#39;s over 2500 devs that could be working on Firefox (and Thunderbird) development full-time. Surely that&#39;s enough? Especially if you don&#39;t keep shoveling on ads and AI &quot;features.&quot;</p>

<p>A thing that is *deeply* confusing to me about recent Mozilla Discourse is many people going &quot;well, of course they have to get money somehow&quot; in response to Mozilla doing things that have no obvious revenue source attached. There is no disclosed revenue stream from &quot;AI Chatbot&quot; and their claimed future plans for the feature sound actively hard to monetize. &quot;Ad Measurement&quot; is by design not directly monetizable. But these features are widely defended on grounds of the nonexistent revenue stream</p>
