What is the point of your spam?
Just to annoy people.
Almost as entertaining as Nigerian scammers.
They're misunderstood artists sharing their passion.

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileOn a more technical level, I can see one way for this to be useful. Send out prodding emails that people are more likely to open than generic spam and include an essentially invisible image embedded.
If the image address is actual a PHP script with a unique ID including the email address it was sent to, it can document who actually opened the spam to confirm legitimate addresses for real spam that would also be larger and take more processing to send.

Granted, I didn't know those exact details that he mentioned, but I figured there had to be some nefarious reason why they send such things.

Yeah, I never open unknown or anonymous emails.
