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.

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."

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”
