Usually I wouldn't write about something like this but this really got under my skin. I used to be a big fan of Cradle of Filth, especially back when I was younger, so naturally I liked their Facebook page. Recently I noticed that on a daily basis and sometimes several times during the day their Facebook page started spamming viral media links.

Here are some examples...


and some more...


There are other things they've shared that are not appropriate to show on my blog. At first I was thinking maybe they somehow got hacked, but given that has been going on for well over a week now I do not believe that is the case.



Many of the comments that I saw on their shares suck it right up but then there are just as many that really dislike what they're posting. In the 12 hours between the time that I took those screenshots and writing this article now there has been about 500 people who unliked their page, good on them. I was definitely one of the people unliking. That is not enough to make a huge dint in their 2.3 million+ likes, but it is a message to be heard.

Perhaps's it's Dani's little man syndrome kicking in again vying for attention or maybe they are in a real financial crisis that they needed to stoop to the level of spammers, but given that behaviour there are only two options...

Unfollow or unlike.
