naked advertisement spam in torrents
-
for some time now, there's been this one uploader who regularly posts content typically farmed from other existing torrents, or other low-quality online sources. the signature features of their torrents are:
- a generic title a la "hot latino fucked by bbc", designed to cast a wide net and maximize the number of clicks, and
- a trivial description that contains little more that multiple arbitrary links to an external streaming site, "gaysdream.com".
presumably, this is a struggling promoter trying to drum up traffic for this particular streaming site - kudos for their grind.
is this sort of torrent posting actually endorsed by the moderators though? if so, there's nothing stopping more people from creating their own sites and spamming advertisement links inside recycled clickbaity torrents.
(sorry for the pun in the title btw, couldn't resist

@spiffyweasel-0 it's definitely not endorsed but on the same not it's not against the rules so, in a sense you're right, everyone can create their own site and advertise it in torrent descriptions.
if you have enough free time and money i suggest you try it so that we will know for real how effective this approach is, but i suspect that it's not great.
another thing is, it'd be hard to check metrics to see who is visiting your links coming from GT because the site removes referers from the URLs, it will look like the person has typed the URL manually instead of clicking an ad.
