I recently uploaded two new tracks to my soundcloud, and I've had multiple spammers/scammers reach out to declare their undying love for the tracks and offer their services listing it on all the marketplaces, etc. It really does feel like there's a normalized base level of this sort of thing almost everywhere on the web, like parasites, bacteria and viruses in the environment, just a constant pressure of hopeful little bloodsuckers. Every place needs some sort of immune system against these omnipresent threats (and usually, this is not something the platform does, so in effect they force their users into a defensive posture by default.) It's pretty dire, in my opinion.
