Is it only me or is Grapevine now filled with scammers and spam bots ?

Everytime I open Grapevine, the amount of repeated content by the same account but across many categories is insane. On top of that, there's now scambot bullshit all over the place. I'm tired of reporting as I don't see any actions being taken to resolve or atleast suppress this.

Are you facing the same issues or is Grapevine intentionally pushing spam content onto my timeline ? 😑

We also need some post filtering and moderation, something like, if the user is posting the same content across different categories, the account will be flagged as suspicious to your internal team.

Banning them won't really help. They'll always come back with a new account.

Same. Some stupid guys keep posting. There should be downvote buttons which remove the post from timeline after certain downvotes. And on top of all that, these guys have made recent feed as the default one

I think some light be spammig but some might have posted it unknowingly, this happened with me recently where after writing a post I tapped that post button but a sudden popup appeared saying error occured, I tried to post it 4 times and same error pop up was appearing so I discarded the post. But when again I went to my profile same post was posted 4 times.
So I believe it is a bug also @UnpaidIntern
