There are several people that cookie stuff for amazon (they do things to counter it but it still happens), people post something on craigslist saying it's free and then have a link to click through that sends their browser on a wild goose chase.
Shawn Hogan is bright and from the fact he let's file lockers post on his site for their services, shows isn't above making a buck. Recall uploaded.net payed $10k to list on Wjunction? I'm sure there is something similar with Hogan going on.
People cookie stuff all the time. I know there are a couple shitty nicks on here that run on auto pilot and make a post like "oh nooos" or "this better be good", something that can almost play off as neutral garbage.
There are plenty of programs out there that allow timed forum posting across hundreds of forums if used properly. This is what the effective file locker uploaders do to make money (not nearly as much and not for long).
Spamming can still be effective if done right, but people who solely rely on these illegitimate means tend to not be very skilled at writing effective copyright and lack the ability for creative and engaging content that is unique.
