Gaming the algorithm can probably work for a while, at least until the algorithm or platform changes. Consider how successful a number of shady SEO practices were until Google shut them down. Then Google stopped caring and simply pushed everything below the fold of Google promotions and advertisements.

Here's my question then, let us assume I have some algo to churn out content [1]; is there any reason I shouldn't do some genetic programming and optimize the process based on income to chase the algo? [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcF9H6ZzWu8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcF9H6ZzWu8

  That video is kind of hilarious in that he kept rewriting things he wasn’t happy with instead of focusing on the pipeline. That is the opposite of just letting genetic programming perform the fitting function.

    I am saying, if I can create a pipeline - which for shorts and simple stuff is fairly trivial - why not let GP deal with algo chasing?

      Ok, yes, more fortunes made by selling shovels than digging for gold. Good luck!
