I appreciate the action you all are taking regarding SPAM. I'll keep reporting it when I see it. I will say, reporting SPAM accounts, comments, posts, etc made for a productive alternative for doom scrolling.

I did have a question. If I have to view a post/comment to confirm a post/comment is spam before reporting it, does that view figure into the algorithm that determines which posts should be more visible? Or does reporting/vomiting/marking as abuse cancel out any views, etc?
