# As the assignment is so vague (just "spam creator"), there's many ways to approach this.
# Where to spam? Forums, site comments, specific social media profiles, reviews for a business, self-promotion, etc...
# I decided to harness "annoying phrases" from a NYT article: https://nypost.com/2022/10/23/annoying-people-say-these-75-things-according-to-reddit-users/
# Then you can enter a victim URL that the trash will be posted to.
# In 99% of cases, you will need to alter the post parameters, probably add cookies, stuff like that.  But ya know, an annoying and simple framework exists below.
