“250 articles a week…” So they are just transitioning to creating spam? Never read any of those sites but focusing on output just sounds like spam. #filtered #squelch

It’s pure clickbait farming. The article doesn’t need to be any good as long as the headline gets a click and just enough seconds of attention for the ad space to be profitable. Zero journalistic integrity, just gaming the numbers >:-(
