is it normal that Newskies is flooded with thirst, scam and troll account first-posts? (sh.itjust.works)

I've been on Bsky for 8 months but only recently discovered the "Newskies" feed (basically - first posts, newest first). It seems very heavily weighted toward samey thirst-magnet pitches, with distinct smatterings of sketchy asks for money, and right-wing troll ragebait. I get that some amounts of all that are unavoidable on that social media format, but I'm curious if anyone who's followed Newskies for a while can say if there's been a surge in the past, say, month or so?

Yes. Bsky finally got big enough for the bot farms to go after. It'll be like that from now on. And get steadily worse.
