I had the same problem. I posted in last month's thread and for a few weeks I got one or more automated emails a day from low quality recruiters and career coaches. Nearly every one follows the same pattern:

1. Email was from Gmail with a long username like "startupjobsrecruiting".

2. Clear template email with the experience I had posted copied nearly word-for-word.

3. Vague details on what they actually offer.

I responded to some when they first came in and the replies came back immediately indicating it's automated. Some also had automated follow up whether I responded to them or not.

I didn't seem to get any actual humans contacting me. Now I mark them all as spam.
