I seem to remember there was a large (indian?) educational YouTuber who did a tutorial on how to use Git where they forked a FOSS repo, made a change to the README.md and then made a PR. This caused a huge influx of garbage PRs for that particular repo and other FOSS repos.

The typo PR's are top-cringe.

I submit typo PRs sometimes. I just really like cleaning up docs, and some typos are important because they affect doc searchability. (But I do bundle them up so there's just one PR, and I generally won't do it for a single typo.)
