New Writer's Market?
Perhaps the philosophy of spammers is that if you get a garbled message with their advertisement at the end of it, your curiosity will be aroused enough to take that next step and visit their phishing site to find out how to give away your identity to someone who can take better advantage of who you are than you can. Since spam continues to defy attempts to lighten the load, the least these people could do is include some interesting text along with their junk to make the process of weeding out spam messages more entertaining. Maybe a different angle on the frenzied desire to get your attention would help readers appreciate how much effort goes into using yet another email address to send an automated email blitz to find someone who cares.
In my opinion, the actual advertisements are easy to ignore completely, because as I subliminally absorb the content, my delete finger goes to work before my brain can finish processing the input. The only thing that slows down this process is trying to absorb the meaning of the disconnected garble that precedes these ads. Sometimes I get half way through a paragraph before deciding the content is not worth interpreting, commanding my delete finger to punch the mouse, but finding my motor control has been temporarily disabled by phrases like, "Quick concentric ring finder pentagram post stripes along viable target metrics."
My mind wants to know what that means on one level, but the irritation I suffer from trying to make sense of it eventually overrides the curiosity impulse. Since spam is apparently here to stay, I am writing this article to appeal to the humanity of the perpetrators to give me at least one thing I can feel good about in sifting through the personal hell I have to live, by sorting out spam emails on a regular basis. It is conceivable that some people would get no email at all if it were not for spam messages, so in the interest of improving the quality of life, please consider writing something pleasant for them if not for me. Thank you for your consideration.
