The two points I can agree with here are redirecting traffic to their website and the lack of some context before doing so.

I don’t have an issue with OP posting about this frequently, but to be fair if you’re doing it to farm traffic to your own website with the most minimal effort involved possible then it becomes an issue.

OP should definitely at least put some effort into this going forward.

I've seen a handful of these posts in the last 24h or so, IMO that is pretty excessive but that's subjective. But for me its especially the lack of effort, coupled with high frequency, that gives it a traffic farming vibe.
