Hello!

I view new assets every day and I found out something strange. I found a bunch of very similar accounts that uploads only one asset pack. Each asset pack has the same style and even each description has the same style. (Almost) all of theme use "custom" tags. All of them use emojis, clusters of two or three emojis in row. Emojis are usually in the end of the sentence. All the asset packs uploaded by these accounts are AI generated. All the accounts looks like AI generated.

The list of accounts:

Hello,

Thanks for the report. We are aware of these accounts and are working on mitigation.

Please continue to report them as you see them. Keep in mind on the bottom of every project page there is a report link. That’s the best way to notify our team to review the pages.

Thanks

To support@itch.io? (If yes, I've just sent)

That's one way.

Please use the report link on the bottom of the project page. Although you can send an email to the support team, different people process those requests and those reports can’t be triaged into our automated report and response system.

Thanks

I wonder what the payload of all of this is.

Occasional money donations? Hidden malware? Testing out security system of itch? Data mining?
