Thanks for giving me a term (or perhaps a concept handle?) for this thing. I was vaguely aware of it, and it feels sort of spammy when I see it, but I didn’t have a clear vocabulary to describe it previously.
I see these kind of “drive-by posts” a lot in subreddits and Slack workspaces, and even a few WhatsApp group chats that I’m in: people will join, post one advertisement/announcement, and then never be heard from again (unless they end up posting another advertisement/announcement after a few months).
