Spotify playlists and podcasts are being abused to push pirated software, game cheat codes, spam links, and “warez” sites.
By injecting targeted keywords and links in playlist names and podcast descriptions, threat actors may benefit from boosting SEO for their dubious online properties, since Spotify’s web player results appear in search engines like Google.
TIL game cheats is a category of deplorable that belongs with pirates sofware and warez.
I remember looking on line to unlock game cheats for Saints Row IV specifically to turn off the downstage pixellation effect and found that this was the most common SR4 cheat in use.
