<p>it’s important to note that for quite a long time, a solid group of people (or a few VERY dedicated individuals) spent a Lot of time spamming posts off. For every 5 real posts, there were Easily 100 posts that just said SPAM, or STOP, or GET OFF ACB too try to make the “experience” too frustrating for people to navigate. That 5000 number is probably very inflated.</p>
