Everything in Moderation
About a week ago I noticed that the amount of comments on my blog had increased. But they all had one thing in common. They all generated from readers in India and they all had links to different businesses. Here's the thing. They were so well written, so beautifully encouraging and engaging with what I had posted. But I realized very quickly that they were more than likely generated by AI and they were spam. There were key phrases and words too similar in the 40 or so comments to be written by actual people. So I deleted them all as I only want to interact with real people who are reading my blog. And I also turned on comment moderation. So if you leave me a comment, I will be able to read it before I post it. For my regular readers and commenters, I apologize. I had left the moderation off for years because it hadn't been an issue. However, now that we are in a world of AI and bots and all kinds of spammers, moderation is key!
