Indie Auto can get remarkably random questions

The stories on Indie Auto’s front page often do not get the most number of viewers. Instead, someone posts an old story on their Facebook page and suddenly we get a burst of new readers from a distant part of the galaxy.

When that happens we also tend to get an uptick in spam as well as angry comments from fanboys. However, what I have found most perplexing is when we get random questions on topics that are far afield from anything Indie Auto has ever covered.

As a case in point, SS stopped by this morning with the following query:

“Been running my John Deere 1025R for a while and wondering what y’all do to keep yours running smooth. Saw on [spam link deleted] they recommend a certain oil, but some folks round here say otherwise. Whats your go-to for maintenance before the busy season? Figure its better to ask the folks whove been at it longer.”

I didn’t approve this comment because it was way off topic. Since then Indie Auto has received four more comments by SS — and each one more directly promotes a certain tractor website. I don’t know why he bothers, but if SS has time to keep on sending spam, I have time to delete it.
