The University of the People is recruiting new spammers
#1
This Israeli diploma mill, disguised as an American university, keeps falling into ridicule: I received a "job offer" to become a spammer, which they call an "ambassador". The job essentially consists of bombarding internet forums with contributions or advertising messages, even fabricated ones, and even automatically generated by AI.

The best spammer of the month gets a prize of $100, to be used as credit on social media (Instagram, if I understand correctly).

In reality, $100 for being a spammer (and only given to the "best") is very little, but it may appeal to people in the poorer countries of the world. This tactic has already been used before, as seen in this discussion https://groups.google.com/g/it.comp.lang...SxKRR05nAM where some Indian or African spammers joined in to say that the school would have a "top faculty". The only problem is, it actually doesn’t have any faculty!

Instead of recruiting spammers, couldn't they invest in qualified teaching staff? No, because the so-called "university of the people" is a machine created to suck money, and qualified teachers would cost money. Better to recruit underpaid spammers.

I sincerely hope you are being paid for all these posts. That's a LOT of time and energy. That school lives very rent free in your head.

These "job offers" are ridiculous. Wouldn't it make more sense to hire real professors instead of hiring spammers?
And why are they using people's email addresses without permission? I mean, the email doesn't even contain an "unsubscribe" button.

Even in this forum there have been some posts that 1. celebrate the university, 2. invite people to listen to Shai Reshef's "interviews", 3. claim that everything is fine and that you need to hurry and sign up etc.
The tone is promotional and celebratory: I wonder if they've been rewarded with the $100 for the best spammer of the month.

No other online university resorts to these tricks.
Actually, not even Scientology.

every post you've made has been about university of the people

just admit you hate Israel and Jewish people

the first 9 words of your post sums up your views perfectly

seriously, if you entire contribution to this site is just anti-semitism then just stop posting and go somewhere else

Actually, I'm Jewish. Why do you talk about things you don't know?
The problem is that this "school" uses dishonest tactics, for example, a fake American address. Since it was discovered that it is actually hiding in Israel, this fraudulent school casts a bad light on an entire population.

You shouldn't offend people.

"you shouldn't offend people" is giving me that last hint of normal before the other one went off the deep end to everyone.
I mean, it's clear as day this question dude is only here for one thing - to discredit a regionally accredited university that they apparently have a hard on against. He isn't going to stop and will just keep posting over and over again with new threads. It's deja vu to the one that made the website.
