Spammers submit 100s of links in a single submission. This will destroy the ranking of not only the spammer but also the sites that favor link dumping directly or indirectly.
SEO spammers keep arguing in favor of link dumping and they can get away with link dumping because Google cannot penalize a website based on its backlinks. If a site has all its backlinks from link dumping, search engines can get a clear signal that those links achieved are through spamming.
