I see the parent comment clearly stating small blogs lifting content from SO and SEO-optimising it.
This happens a lot. For instance, a Google search for “maps vs list comprehensions” shows an ad-based website result featured at the top, despite having re-hashed content from the SO post on the same topic.
Clearly, Google’s SEO favors recently-published articles over quality.
I ran a search “react node.js”, and a digital marketing blog post is highlighted in the “Featured by Google” despite being low-quality. So, it’s just spam at the moment to milk views by content-marketers.
Also, it’s hard to plagarise from small blogs when SO is the more active forum for day-to-day solutions. I don’t see that happening a lot.

Are we talking about the same comment? > when a small site posts something and then that content gets stolen and posted verbatim as an answer on stackoverflow. This is about SO answers stolen from small blogs, not SO answers stolen and copied to SEO optimized pages. Unless we’re not reading the sentence the same way somehow?
- anupamchugh 4y agoSorry. I took the top-most comment as parent. Having said that, SO answers getting stolen from small blogs is a rarity as I wrote in my previous reply.
