Dynamic dns domains are used heavily by spammers as a free way to get new domains to spread links on social media sites (to evade domain bans). Typically these are fake dating site scams targeted at men. I’m dealing with this now at at one of the top social media companies.

Do they also check by CNAME? If I buy a domain and connect DuckDNS via CNAME, would filters trip on this as well?

I don't think they do. I've been using DuckDNS against my own domain CNAMEs for years.

And? Not sure what I'm supposed to take from this. Domains can be had for so cheap, the fact that it's even a consideration in the spam profile is kinda... :/.
