So, Planet Ark are trying to register an account to join aussie.zone. I would normally have rejected their application, as they are giving the vibe of ‘we want to spam’. So, I reached out to them on their contact form. I thought it possible they had a google analytics alert and noticed us discussing their products recently.
But, that was longer ago than I realised: It feels like we talked about that a few weeks ago. So now I’m back to thinking they want to spam. Gah!
I want answers, but I don’t want ads. I suppose I’ll wait to see if/how they respond to my website query.

man I cant see a good reason why brands need to be on a social media platform of this size, that’s just my 2 cents.

Businesses routinely have alerts on their brands with Google. It’s quite possible they got an email from Google that we were talking about their products. That part actually makes sense to me.
If they had applied for an account within a week or so of that discussion, and said in their application they were joining the site in response to it - I’d have thought it completely reasonable.
