Some recipients of Spam lit believe that the texts possess a certain elegant and ephemeral quality, noting that even the "merged" pieces often make some kind of sense.
Modern poets often refer to Spam Lit as "Found poetry" and prose and sometimes even incorporate these snippets into their own work. In 2007, Post Foetry, a blog, announced a Spam Lit Project in which writers could submit their own Spam Lit creations (albeit without ads).
