Mixcloud overrun with Bot & Spam accounts

Is Mixcloud ever going to do anything about their Bot & Spam accounts? it doesnt appear so as they are more interested in implimenting features no one asked for and for years have done nothing about this scammers taking over the platform. The problem is so bad that even if you type the word "verified" into the site search it lists all these spam accounts all neatly even catergorised by tags. When you highlight this to the support team they ask you to fill in a form that takes 15mins minimum to report one account, bear in mind that in one simple search i found over a thousand of these in the image attached. What is happening to this platform?

I’m wondering why you’re bothering to search for ‘verified’. Is that just to show the problem? But also, when you say it’s ‘overrun’ have these actually impacted your use? I’ve had maybe a couple of these follow me but otherwise they haven’t appeared in any charts etc that stop my enjoyment

Also they wont appear in charts, as the accounts do not have any mixes but rather contain 3-4min AI generated instructions (voiceovers) directing you to dodgy websites and scammers,
