When decade after decade the general solution to low effort spam bug reports was mostly just ignore it till it goes away cause people are lazy. Its not surprising it's suddenly a massive problem when the barrier to entry to make a bug report dropped though the floor.
No one has ever bothered to figure out a proper solution to the problem. So kicking the can down the road is biting everyone in the ass at the same time.
Over the last 20 years every time iv seen devs bitch about spam bug reports iv always wondered why no one ever tries to find a long term reliable method to dealing with it. At best you see token efforts. Kinda funny to be honest.
