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.
