I don't really make dishonest dollars so this is unfamiliar to me but I was under the impression content mills made easily detectable formulaic clickbait "What happened next will surprise you" "a local housemom discovered something" "7 worst celebrity hairstyles" etc...
This is decidedly different. Here's some examples:

These are all at least 6 years old ... the key here is to make it look like it's legit and above board all the while you're just content farming from archives.
I've had people repackage articles I've written on their own site and presented them as conference papers as just one-offs (I don't really care, whatever). This is a proposal for an automated plagerization engine, shamelessly lifting old content and repackaging it in a way suggesting it's exclusive.
I've had top articles and projects on reddit, slashdot, and hn ... I tried amassing a portfolio recently and it's really hard to find the old references, blogs, and articles talking about it. The web is more of a moving river than a library. That's why I think this would work.
It's incredibly dishonest but I don't think I've seen it done.
