spammy

Full of junk

Spammy describes something that resembles or suggests spam—unwanted bulk messages, especially online.

A spammy email looks like junk mail.

A spammy website is cluttered with ads or suspicious links.

The word implies low quality, untrustworthiness, or aggressive marketing tactics: That link looks spammy—don't click it.
