Anyone else get a feeling that some tutorials are made for trolling purposes? Like, why write an article about the most basic stuff about a particular stack and call it a day? Why copy paste from the docs without adding any new information whatsoever?
Medium.com is the worst offender.

the whole world is just stupid

people don't take pride in things anymore, they just spew low effortly

because SEO.

When I first came across medium, they had decent content and I added them to my RSS feed. After a while, some content was behind a 'paywall' (they wanted you to create an account), then click-bait headlines, etc and authors I followed started dropping off. I can only guess why.

M: "The article on C# multi-threading. Title is too boring. How about 'Trump is a poopy-head'? Our estimates show a 300% increase in traffic when someone trashes Trump"

A: "That has to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Hard pass."

M: "OK, how does 'Biden. Genius or a secret alien body snatcher?'."

A: "I stand corrected. You raised the stupid bar two more notches. You just out-stupid CNN. Well done. Keep going, you'll pass Fox News."

I really like Troll Hunter. Like I want to get the stuff and start hunting trolls in Europe now. I mean, the USA has Squawsnatch, but she be hard to catch if you don't have big enough bait. I like to fish without bait. I prefer flies.

Also a lot of medium articles are obviously ChatGPT generated. They sucks. ChatGPT is good only for beatiful writing, it has no technical knowledge.

Some of these are

* people dabbling with ai summaries
* click farmers (not sure what they have to gain from doing it on someone else’s platform)
* their job promotes outreach ”today - let’s write a techy blogpost about anything”

@daniel-wu I had the idea quora was generated way before chatGPT came along. I even clicked trough some profiles and it just didn't add up
