But it's accurate in this case. It IS just my opinion as a player who follows the WA. I've already pointed out that Jocospor stays within the letter of the law. I don't think he stays within the Spirit of the law, but we don't usually enforce spiritual rules.
Professionally (in my role as Game Moderator), I don't like being put in the position of answering player complaints and defending a practice that I personally despise. We usually advise players to add the sender to their Ignore List in those circumstances. In that sense, the mass spam is counterproductive, as many readers remove themselves from the feed. It's also worth pointing out that player complaints are quite often the impetus for rule changes. We might yet be inspired to close the loopholes that Jocospor is exploiting.

No one has ever changed my mind by throwing a wallet in front of my face. Nor Max's, for that matter. Neither of us is financially driven when it comes to this game.
