Is there any explanation of what commercial advantage accrues to the
traders who flood this and other newsgroups with their advertisements?

I've not seen any figures. I can only guess the advertising is
effectively free for them and it may bring in a few new customers.
They don't care about the folks they annoy.

I can confirm that reports to Google do, at least sometimes, have an
effect.

Don't get mad. Get even!
