i do that too! well i used to. admittedly i don't browse all/new very much anymore because some people really do try to make it difficult for people to browse and find new content.

for me, it's not so much about the scamming aspect of it, it's more that the spam drives people away and dilutes the feed. people put in effort to post relevant articles that won't get seen/discovered because of all the spam. it sucks.
