Are older blogs being regurgitated? In the past days I've read articles that I'm sure are 90+% similar to ones I've read one or two years ago.
I'm on my phone currently so I can't really be bothered to find links to support my case. Mostly curious whether others have got the same feeling.

- petdance 15y agoNot only that, but that guy also linked back to the original and said it was a modification of the previous post.
