I move we rename this trope to Legover The Chairs.

Of course it’ll be trash. Quality isn’t the goal, just bulk with the aim of getting maybe fewer views per article but pumping out so so many that it’s more views, or rather ad impressions, overall with much lower cost.

Problem is it’s shortsighted. Once those sources quickly get a reputation for trash quality folk will learn not to bother clicking through to those sources.

As a middle ground you could follow a Lemmy community‘s RSS feed then jump in via the link for anything you wanted to see the conversation for :)

Ah! I’ll look into that - thank you!

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 >:-(

Judging by the comments I would say apparently so!

Perhaps as an even more sinister than usual member of the Tal Shiar.

Indeed.

It’s beyond stupid. ISPs are in the business of, ya know… providing internet services. It’s like the government charging the cinema because I used the public roads to get there.

The EU once again showing their ineptitude to actually effectively regulate anything technical. They lack the knowledge or the desire to gain the knowledge necessary to make informed decisions.

I also think their USB-C ruling was stupid but not quite as stupid as this.

Harder to recognise makes it easier to up-sell crappier models to those not close enough to the detail. I was mulling over going AMD with the next laptop (which admittedly won’t be any time soon), this makes me lean more towards that idea.
