I get these all the time for like, marketing and SEO for our website. "Hey, Spider, I just saw NerdyKeppie, and I was really impressed by your focus on queer community and Judaism. But it seems like your site isn't getting as noticed as it could!" Yeah, I'm sure you were really impressed. You and the literally six other "people" who sent me an identical email today.

It would be nice if I could find whoever is selling people these prewritten emails and kick them firmly in the knee. :|

These have become ubiquitous for me and it is infuriating. I think my biggest complaint is that however they're using the AI/Chatgpt/whatever it is to draft these, it's not that it's fooling me that's an issue, but it IS fooling the spam filters. Which means I do have to read them and sort through and mark them, rather than them being caught in the auto-filters.

This kind of spam has been breaking my heart as my hopes are first raised, then dashed, that an actual human read and understood my obscure novel!

I am a real person and I wasn’t planning to comment at all today BUT wanted to just say I’m easily delighted by Women’s Hotel and most everything you write. Full stop. No action required on your part.

Sorry to hear how those bots are taking up your valuable attention, dang them.
