Spamnil's TFiR (Swapnil Bhartiya's Site, Formerly Muktware): SPAM, Clickfraud, and Plagiarism

Azure: Spamnil's spam
Clickfraud aside (violating terms and conditions/terms of service in YouTube by faking clicks; about 95% of the views are fake), and never mind the paid-for spam (fake, sponsored "content"), watch how 'articles' get written. New example of Microsoft Azure (press release on the right, fake 'article' on the left). The text is almost identical.



Summary: For Spamnil, journalism means copying press releases, changing a few words, then calling it "article/s"; or, in some cases, copy-pasting promotional junk from companies that pay him to spew out their spam; this isn't journalism, it's webspam, and to make matters worse he resorts to clickfraud (to pretend many people watch or read the junk, in essence cheating people for money); to make matters worst, the Linux Foundation is paying for this, tarnishing the brand "LINUX"
