Why all the jibberish answers all of a sudden?

"adjflkjdlkfj," "sfdsfdsf," etc. What the heck?

Update:

It seems like it went from 10% of answers to 90% in the past 24 hours? If I have to block ten people every time I look at a question, it's not worth it.

    You should report ALL of them. If several people report an answer, it will be removed and eventually, the account will be deleted. Blocking is a waste of time.

    bots to make our lives miserable. Blocking is pointless if they make new accounts every 20 "answers"

    You'll quickly reach a blocking limit and there'll be thousands more. Reporting works if enough people do it. they delete if that happens.
