I had this same thought in 2013 and created this library which uses a few simple tests to protect from comment spam. It definitely could be improved/tuned (and oof this code I wrote is baaaad), but for many sites it is good enough. https://github.com/mccarthy/phpFormProtect

If you build a good rapport with everyone, this is unnecessary and you can simply provide constructive feedback without sugarcoating it. The best engineers will see right through this.

Same here, on an iPhone

Why don't they check for this particular phone in TSA security? The process is already ridiculous with shoe removal and toiletries in ziploc. Why not check the model number on my phone?

Given that a large swath of SaaS services, infrastructure providers, and major sites across the internet are impacted, this seems harsh. Are you unhappy with PagerDuty's choice of DNS provider, or something else they have control over? I don't think anyone saw this particular problem coming.

Why only slightly better? The response to that forum post, as far as I can tell, means EC2 is not vulnerable to this attack.

What popular cloud providers are vulnerable?

I agree with you that the lazy/poisonous methods are far too common, and was exaggerating to some extent. In this case the chain of tech may be too sullied for a good message to be well-received.

I'd also like to add that as punishment for insulting the Sears marketing team, I got a piece of spam from them 20 minutes after my comment.

The real problem here is not the chain of marketing tech that allowed this, the issue is that the marketing message itself sucked. If the message was valuable, many people wouldn't have been bothered by receiving it.

As for the message itself, if their intent is to sell you that specific item you searched for, they should say so. Of course, they need to avoid the creepy-factor, which, along with laziness are the two reasons they may have ended up with the junky message you received.
