Mostly a reaction to the phisher who tried to scam Virily users last week. Of course, this isn’t what a spambot looks like but my depiction is a lot more fun and does raise some interesting points…

You are right they could all be recycled and being used
of course, the cost of shipping them might exceed their value…
Hahaha, you’re right. Some outdated computers end up in third countries. Like here in my country, we have kind of new, used and new computers with floppy disk slot.
that’s a good thing, that resources can be reused
This version grants the best atmosphere, in my opinion.
in general, or for this image specifically because spamming is a sinister activity?
LOL That’s a reason. Scammers need to hide in order to not get caught, even in their home countries. Then the computer also makes me think of the hikikomori, or kids that spend hours playing videogames in a dark room. ? Generally, I feel the dark vignette makes the viewer’s attention focus more on the computer screen compared to the other pictures.
those hikikomori are a breed unto themselves
