Yes ok but you don't need to be doing their job for them. Blur that shit.

Why? Why respect the privacy of a spambot?

It's not about respecting the privacy of a spambot. it's about doing their job for them. The bot wants their links and their advert to be seen by as many eyeballs as possible. Guess what the OP just achieved? Blur all links next time.

I'm kinda on the fence... yeah ditch any actual links, etc, but with a title like that to this post, it's kinda showing familiarity AND the bait warning. So... 🤷🏼‍♂️

I disagree.
Saying "this is a scam" with the links visible is more transparent. If the scam changes but the links are similar, it will hopefully raise a red flag for someone.

Blurring them does nothing other than obfuscating the details of the scam.
Shine light onto the darkness and document it.
