Explicit adult content hashtag spam spreads across social platforms

A string of unrelated words followed by dozens of explicit sexual hashtags has surfaced on social media, part of what looks like automated spam promoting an adult website. The post lists tags ranging from gay porn terms to '#sports' and '#straight', apparently to game hashtag searches. Such campaigns typically aim to drive traffic to pornographic video sites through search and trend hijacking.
Why now: Spam bots mass-post explicit hashtags to hijack search results and push traffic to adult websites.
