"Or How to Put out Garbage Spam for Self-Promotion".

A quality article that benefits anyone takes at least a week to write, at the very very least.

The author admits "80% of What You Write Will Be Bullsh*t" - so you are basically wasting a lot of people's time in hopes of scoring big via luck.


Indeed. I also think research is important, and research, sources, and cross references to actual studies and data is important, and you can't research 10 things deeply in a week and write about them.

I feel that a lot of articles generated at such prodigious speed are mainly about the feelings of the author that happen to resonate with the reader, as opposed to some kind of deeper truth, insight, or understanding.


I can't stand writing that is slipshod at best. Writing so many articles a week may be self-fulfilling for the author, but what about those who can't decide for themselves and spend time reading them?
