Spamism is an ideology that advocates the use of verbal & digital spam to solve certain problems. It has no economic, cultural or social preference, it just spams to solve problems within those sectors.
Entomology
The term 'Spam' originates from the Monthy Python sketch where a group of Vikings in a restaurant interrupt conversations by loudly singing about Spam, the canned food. Marketers drowning out discourse by flooding emails with junk mail advertising messages was named spamming, due to some early internet users that flooded forums with the word spam recounting the repetitive and unwanted presence of spam in the sketch. It is also used to describe any repetition of words, sentences or paragraphs which have been sent repeatedly to the comments section.
