Nah.

What the average user is looking for is almost certainly gonna be near the top of a Google search.

What are "SEO spam tactics"? I would google, but am afraid of that now.

Tactics to get more visible to the search engines. Optimizing the website to the search engines.

It's something we all must do to make a nice, visited websites. It's also something that spammers got so good that literally everything you search is basically ¾ ads at this point.

If they haven't gotten into this habit in the last 20 years anyways, I don't think the SEO spam was that last straw. That ship has sailed.
