Good lord.

I did one quick chat for an NBC news piece and they linked to my website.

Now my WebMentions are a dumpster fire - filled with all their crappy, low-quality syndicated copies of the article.

Counted 38 bunk domains all pointing back to the canonical NBC domain

What's very weird about those two examples, is both websites are now something totally different and those blog posts are gone. I think it's part of an SEO scam game of some sort.

  Oof. Sounds like a terrible game. So maybe not even related to NBC? Just people trying to get SEO juice by linking to them? I don't get the rules of this gross house of cards.
