Dedicating A Portion of My Mental Energy To Despise Internet & Email Spammers

I didn’t wake up one day and decide to dedicate a portion of my mental energy to despising internet and email spammers.

It wasn’t a choice—it was thrust upon me by the sheer force of their relentless digital harassment.

Over the years, what started as a mild irritation grew into a full-blown affair of disdain so consuming that I’m now convinced it’s time for global regulatory intervention.

For every spam email clogging my inbox, every unsolicited message slipping through my website's form submissions, and every fake profile sliding into my DMs, there’s a tech platform somewhere turning a blind eye.

These platforms—whether email providers, hosting services, or social media giants—are the enablers of a disease that is spiraling out of control.

A Daily Assault on Sanity

Spam isn’t just about shady "Nigerian prince" emails anymore; it’s evolved into an insidious, multi-headed beast.

From fake business proposals littered with spelling errors to bots selling knock-off merchandise on social media, the bombardment is endless.

I’ve personally received emails so audacious they began with “Hi Dear:” as if we were lifelong pen pals between Tasmania and Pakistan

Some even had the gall to beg for my money or cooperation in broken English that left me questioning whether they’d even run their pitch through Google Translate.

It’s more than a nuisance—it’s theft. It’s the theft of my time, my focus, and my bandwidth. I can no longer check my inbox without a sense of dread or use a website form without questioning how my information will be abused.

It’s not just me either—small businesses, nonprofit organizations, and individuals worldwide are forced to waste valuable resources fending off these digital parasites.

Platforms Profit While We Suffer

Let’s be honest: the platforms could stop this. They could crack down on the spammy accounts, the malicious IPs, and the rogue domains.

But they don’t because, in one way or another, they profit from the chaos. Email providers tout paid spam filters as if solving a problem they’ve failed to address at the root is a service worth charging for.

Social media platforms monetize bot interactions by inflating engagement metrics. Hosting companies sell extra layers of security to shield websites from the very spammers they enable by not policing their own networks.

A Call for Internet Accountability

Enough is enough. It’s time to regulate the internet in a meaningful way. Every platform that allows spammers to operate under its roof should be held accountable.

That’s right—fined, shamed, and forced to compensate the victims of their negligence. Imagine if every spam email sent cost the platform enabling it $0.01 in fines. The financial incentive to finally take action would be staggering.

Let’s also talk about transparency. Why aren’t platforms required to disclose the number of spam accounts or fake users they harbor?

Why don’t hosting companies have to publish reports on how many spam IPs they shut down each month? The lack of accountability has created a breeding ground for bad actors, and we are all paying the price.

No More Passes for the Gatekeepers

What angers me most is the hypocrisy. These platforms are happy to sell themselves as bastions of innovation and connectivity while enabling an underbelly of digital fraud.

Every unchecked spammer is a testament to their failure. And let’s not kid ourselves—if these companies can develop AI to sell us ads and curate our content feeds, they can certainly develop systems to eliminate spam.

We need global enforcement agencies to step in where the platforms have failed. Think GDPR, but with teeth.

Fines should be issued not just to the spammers but also to the platforms that allow them to thrive. Let’s tax the tech giants who profit from this mess until they prioritize cleaning it up.

It’s Not Just Annoying—It’s Harmful

Spam isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a vector for phishing attacks, fraud, and misinformation.

It preys on the vulnerable—older adults duped into clicking malicious links, small businesses scammed out of their hard-earned money, and unsuspecting users tricked into revealing personal data.

We’ve regulated industries before when they became a threat to public welfare. Why should the internet be any different? If the platforms can’t police themselves, it’s time for external oversight to step in.

Why I Hate Spammers: Final Rant Against Digital Leeches

Spammers are the mosquitoes of the digital world—unwanted, irritating, and absolutely relentless.

Unlike a mosquito, though, you can’t just slap a spammer away. They keep coming back, multiplying, evolving, and finding new ways to suck the life out of the internet.

Every single spam email, unsolicited message, and junk link I encounter is a slap in the face. These people—if you can even call them that—don’t just waste my time; they insult my intelligence.

They think I’m gullible enough to click their poorly written, malware-laden links or respond to their “urgent” business proposals. Spoiler alert: I’m not

But that’s not where the anger ends. It’s the sheer audacity of these spammers that gets under my skin. They invade my personal space—my inbox, my website forms, my DMs—like they’re entitled to it.

They steal my peace of mind, clutter up my workflow, and make me second-guess every email and message. Every. Single. Day..

So yes, I hate spammers. I loathe them. I detest their existence and the cowardly platforms that let them run wild.

If it were up to me, every spammer would face massive fines, public shaming, and a lifetime ban from the internet. They deserve nothing less for the chaos they unleash on the rest of us.

Let’s Fix This, or Shut It Down

The digital world is no longer a wild west; it’s a core part of modern life. But if we’re going to continue building our businesses, social lives, and personal identities online, we need to demand a safer, spam-free environment.

So, to the platforms profiting off our misery: consider this your warning. To the policymakers dragging their feet: wake up.

And to my fellow victims of spam-induced rage: join me in demanding accountability. It’s time to clean up the internet before the spam problem completely chokes it to death.

To the spammers of the world: you’re not clever. You’re not entrepreneurial. You’re worthless pests. And one day, the rest of us are going to figure out how to squash you for good.
