What is spam(besides the food meat thing)?

Question

I know that spam is also something about meat, but I'm talking about the internet "spam". On a YouTube page at the comment section, it says something like this comment has been spammed or something. Please explain!

Answer 1

For your YouTube example, if something is flagged as spam it means it is a random, unrelated, repeated, inappropriate, or a chain comment. So basically crap.

Answer 2

Electronic Junk Mail

Answer 3

It's when someone posts things like "cursed" forward e-mails, advertisements, and other useless stuff. It is also considered spam when they just keep posting it for no reason.

Answer 4

It basically means that a person/people has filled the comments section with useless rubbish (ie. the copy and paste comments, stuff that has nothing to do with the video whatsoever).
