Why are strange strangers adding me on Snap?

Hello, I have had Snapchat for three and a half years and for just under a year now, I often receive friend requests from girls with strange Bitmojis. They wear random clothes, have colorful hair like pink, green, blue, and a weird background. It looks like the Bitmoji was created randomly and the usernames either have a girl’s name with numbers or are a mix of letters with numbers. Right now, for the past month, I have been receiving a lot of friend requests through Quick Add or the search function and they send me pictures of naked girls, probably from the internet, asking me to sign up for a site. Then, the texts they send me are copy-pasted or bot messages because they use formal language, have no spelling mistakes, and send me the same message multiple times. So, I wanted to know why they are sending me this and how they find me through the search function, please.

    Hello

    Well, you're describing everything that looks like automatic bot messages from accounts created for that purpose. They must target as many people as possible, perhaps varying based on a profile that fits you, and it's not necessarily the search function that is used to choose; it's a means of contacting you.

    We are all analyzed constantly across the internet, and profiles are sold by the thousands to "clients." The one who purchased the list sends whatever they want to refine what they can offer you and how to do it based on your reactions, and their own clients will be people who have things to sell or buy.

    There, they probably offered a website to increase its number of registrations for a fee, and you are part of the possible future registrants. Your registration is the merchandise.
