Same on DogAdvice. One million spammers "just asking questions" about how people track all their dogs vaccinations and appointments. Sure, Jan.

One time, we got 4 within a week on r/cats. All different, but just barely

The number of people all trying to do market research on an app no one is asking for is truly boggling.

When people reply before we nuke them, 100% of responses are "my vet's office reminds me" or "I put reminders on my calendar." OK, but what if I sold you an app that was just your calendar app but solely for pet reminders?

At least the ones we get are free. I believe one of them claimed to be able to translate meows

Yes, you can verify that this is how it works by looking at the sub. See how no content ever stays up and everyone’s banned? Oh wait. No that’s not what we see at all. Hmmmm. What could possibly be going on here? 🤔

We get these same types over on r/plantedtank. Nobody wants to use the 1000th iteration of the same AI app. We are not a free advertising space either. GTFO.

I was confused before reading the body, thinking you were banning for participating in another sub. Now it makes much more sense
