Repeatedly violating rules

I found this AMA on a subreddit (can't name it because that's against the BHW rules). It's by a guy who makes PAA question/answer spam sites. And he has built some huge sites. Even if you are not into Spam sites, you should probably take a look here, as it just goes on to show the scale of SEO and what you can do with it.
The content below is what basically he wrote in the thread:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I run over 50 of these automated PAA question/answer sites in the vein of https://askinglot.com/, https://everythingwhat.com/, or https://midogguide.com/.
Fun facts:
First, I will get a list of keywords from Ahrefs and scrape the related PAAs. Then I will put up automated 1000-5000 articles made out of longtails (PAAs) on an aged domain and let them age like cheap wine for 3-4 months. After that time, I will run my Google Search Console script, which analyzes which keywords are the most promising.
I will choose around 30-100 keywords that are getting the best results and send them to my writers working on my white hat site. Then I will delete these articles from the PAA site so that I'm not competing with my white hat site.
So in 1 sentence - I'm polluting the SERPs with bullshit sites as an out-of-the-box form of keyword research so that my content outsourcing is more cost-efficient.
I spun one up on Saturday and tried to remove most of the footprints to show it to you today: https://modernbloke.com/. I will take this website down once this is archived.
~140 "articles," most of them already indexed.
Edit: I just saw that https://mvorganizing.org/ (got penalized in google after getting to 20-30mil monthly views last year) finally 301d today to a new domain and Google already indexed 262,000 results. Hilarious. I wonder if it will take them 9 months again to penalize this one.

Fun facts:
- Last week's update boosted black hat PAA sites, according to what people I know are saying and my experiences. Google is doing a great job as always
- I haven't received a DMCA request yet. Maybe because I'm linking back to the originals and paraphrasing them? Idk.
- I don't make these sites for ad revenue. I'm creating them to do what I call "fishing for keywords."
