Without an example of how you would prevent this, this article amounts to just whining.
- bombcar 3y agoHopefully it eventually leads to adpocalypse where the value of ads trends to zero and the whole damn thing collapses on itself.
- jeffbee 3y agoIt might. But the key actor here is the person who used an LLM to paraphrase another article. The fact that Google indexed it is hardly even relevant. The claim that Google is "boosting" it is meaningless.
- rideontime 3y agoIf you read the article, you'll see that they're specifically talking about Google News including these rip-off sites, not Google merely indexing them. I would consider that a form of "boosting," especially considering that some actual news sites that create their own content are excluded.

- jeffbee 3y agoThat does not seem to be an example of how you would fix this.
