ive never clicked the links, for obvious reasons, so i cant tell you if it is commercial spam or what, but some of the names of them do look like they're stores of some kind. ive run other sites in recent years though, not ibs but usually little shitty wordpress sites and they also get a TON of spam in the comment fields. there are a lot of wordpress storefront sites that have hidden comment fields and i bet theyre all filled with spam. mine always were despite not being visible
i still think its politically motivated to SOME degree, though
