"Spammer", "he is spammer" - we all love to hate those spammers.
Of course, They send junk to our mail (actually, I can hardly see spam using Gmail), they contaminating websites and they make a lot of money.
How do I know they make a lot of money? The spammers work according to the long tail theory - they are shooting anywhere, someone will get hurt eventually, the people that they target eventually will spend some money (that part of it goes to their pocket).
Well, these are the bad guys, the spammers, they make a lot of money in an annoying way that interferes with our browsing life.
We hate them - "Be careful, he is a spammer!!!" is a very common sentence one can see in a lot of UGC sites (digg, flickr, youtube etc').
I think that the legitimate advertising is worse than spam(or is it the same thing without the legitimacy). It interferes with my browsing in a much larger scale of cross points than the spammers. I search for something and i see it, I browse to my favorite sites (that lots of other browsers like) and see them - a lot of banners, roadblocks, Addwords, addsence, you name it, some of them are so annoying that i almost swear to my self never to visit these sites again. therefore, I think, the real spammers are the legitimate ones.
I'm not implying that spammer are good hearted fellas, after all, most of the mails sent today are spam, but I think that if google would have got payment for every spam it delivers, than, the spam industry would have become legitimate.
Think of it
