I wonder if this is to circumvent automatic blocks? They started including the text in the image for similar reasons.

It feels like they are getting new photos more often lately. When the scam first started they used the same like two photos a lot. Now it feels like there is multiple new photos just this week.

Do you have any source for any automatic blocks being implemented by anyone?
FooBarrington@lemmy.world 11 months ago
No, I just remember seeing posts in Lemmy admin spaces about DB migrations used to block the text, not sure where.

Yeah I can see blocking text, but you are saying the new images are possibly to avoiding blocks. Which would require some image comparison / computer vision based detection, which I would be interested to read about if it existed.

I’m probably viewing mine after the account gets banned but the last 3 or 4 haven’t had an image

I’m betting it’s some Webcam where you have to pay to see feet, but they never pay they just screengrab this stuff
