Quote
once a pattern is identified of abuse, is to document that pattern somewhere. So that all the hosting companies can see it and they can all take action at once right and put in a filter

Summary
Spam feeds keep changing shape (Korean spam, Vietnamese gambling, escorts, movie streaming), all built on free-trial backlink schemes. Dave says the best defense is to document each abuse pattern once it's identified so all hosting companies can filter at once, but not publicly, where spammers would learn to evade it.
Not in the audio. The 'not public' caveat comes from a separate turn at 01:17:57 ('if it's public, it's more likely to... see it and know how to evade it').
