After months of digging and reporting, I have learned where Facebook's bizarre AI spam (like "Shrimp Jesus") comes from, who is making it, how it works, and how it is monetized. Turns out Meta is directly paying people to spam FB with this stuff www.404media.co/where-facebo...

Where Facebook's AI Slop Comes Fromwww.404media.co Facebook itself is paying creators in India, Vietnam, and the Philippines for bizarre AI spam that they are learning to make from YouTube influencers and guides sold on Telegram.

Less than $11k to go. In case you can help:
