Terry Crews Teases Game Time With Excited Post As Comments Section Gets Flooded With Spam

With one single post-a very brief one-all pumps of the fans spread, only 1 hour away from the game. The actor-former NFL-runner-in-chief posted a photo with the caption: “Game time in 1 hour! 😆🏈 #AGT”-possibly tied interestingly to his judging for America’s Got Talent. The post by Crews was easy enough, but the comments were another story of chaos.

Possibly the most legitimate comment to come out was that of an admirer who said, “I live in your neighborhood! When are you coming out to run into me for a photo opportunity”? Such kind of interaction-filled comment sections are usually seen in celebrities’ posts. But in this case, almost every other comment looked spammy, promoting some product or service named ALEXIS⭐ 💡17✈️ in the Indonesian language.

All these suspicious comments translated to English would say something along the lines of, “Wow, ALEXIS⭐ 💡17✈️ the best solution so far,” “I just tried ALEXIS⭐ 💡17✈️ and the process was really fast,” and “Why did I only find out about ALEXIS⭐ 💡17✈️ now, I regret it.” The suspiciously repetitive and identically formatted comments were indicative of a well-coordinated spam attack instead of actual fan engagement.

Increasingly gaining momentum today is the hijack of comment sections: where the posts of well-known social media personalities duly get hijacked to give visibility to some questionable product or promotional service. The insurmountable persistence demonstrated by these spammers is worthy of praise- they would, one after the other, fill the comments post with dozens of largely identical comments to ensure some clicks would fall their way from unsuspecting end-users.

Crews has graced the social media world for years with plenty of comedic acting prowess. He would ordinarily rake in thousands of genuine comments from fans sharing memes, discussing his current projects, or responding to his inspirational messages. Such spam intervention is a sad yet common occurrence plaguing quite a few celebrity accounts.

Crews’ vibe of positivity and flow of comment spam show the constant war social media outlets face against spam bot accounts. Instagram has introduced quite a few tools to stamp down boxes of such content, and yet any spammer with that willpower will outrun them and fill these posts almost into despair before downing.

His unwavering positivity and genuine engagement with his fans have made him one of the most endearing personalities on the social front despite these occasional interruptions.
