Of course, there are also articles written by experts. But those experts will be busy and, thus, publish on a slow schedule. So I believe my heuristic is accurate that anyone posting content too quickly will most likely not do much actual work.
Also, if the internet is 95% articles by job seekers, then I'm better off distrusting everyone instead of expanding the trust that only 5% deserve to the other 95%.

I guess if better off means not finding anything good but no crap either, instead of only finding some good and lots of crap.
- fxtentacle 6y agoWell, I deliberately chose the word "distrusting" here. If I know that the internet is 95% crap, I will treat every article as wrong until proven correct, meaning that I will not copy & paste anything without verifying myself that it works as it should. If I had a provably reliable author, on the other hand, I could skip that work and just take his/her word for it. But only about 5% of the people writing on the internet deserve this level of trust.
