We had one of the "real humans" write to us (in issues) asking us to leave his spam up for "just a few hours".

We implemented a filter anyway.

(This was not Gitlab, but a specific form on our unique website.)

But like... who's paying for that kind of spam??

In our case, mostly pirate TV streaming services. (Watch NBA games live etc.)

A lot of people unfortunately seem to bite on those "SEO experts" kind of emails. I had a few clients ask me if they should give it a try, since, "why not, it's cheap".
