To fully appreciate the full scope of spam we put this table together and generated and identified a million spam posts & results within 5 minutes
So, if we were to do some math the potentiality of this reaching the tens of millions for just a single product is very real and frightening especially if you consider that a dangerous product could eventually go to market unchecked!
By performing an exact search with Arctic Silver 5 and in conjunction with an exact search with random topics in this case it was public figures and popular films and we also included one of the worlds oldest religious institutions
you can see our results in the table below once again the results uncovered that a “rival” manufacturer who is an established chemical company established in 1928 had dramatically less and fewer spam results
