Just wait. Some asshole Google employee will read his blog, and unapprove him.

Rule one of generated content club is don't talk about generated content club. It's hard to prove somebody generated all the articles. But if they admit to it in an article you got them

The point of the post is to talk about it because I care about the internet and don't want it to be filled with generated trash.

Honestly, good on you! I admire hat you are openly talking about this even tho you risk demonetization.

Don't be too impressed. So far I've only taken in a couple bucks.

But seriously, that's why I do The Luddite. There are some good tech journalists and commentators, but they're usually professional journalists or opinion-havers. I code for a living. I think that perspective is often missing. How many people who write about the app store have actually submitted an app? Or like this post, how many have made and then monetized a website?

This post itself kind of reads like that, though. You could easily cut it to a third of its current length and not lose anything.

I can't say I agree. I think it had the right length.
