But it still isn't MSN who did it. The key part of the problem is entirely glossed over in the article.

“The full story is that back in 2020, MSN fired the team of human journalists responsible for vetting content published on its platform. As a result, as we reported last year, the platform ended up syndicating large numbers of sloppy articles about topics as dubious Bigfoot and mermaids, which it deleted after we pointed them out.”

MSN is not blameless for publishing bad content without supervision. And we are due for a wave of bad AI content starting now. So this problems is going to keep getting worse.

  Thats a different problem and not even new. It's not even the same problem you referenced as the "key" part of the problem. Algorithms providing content is behind every mainstream platform ever.
  
  I didn't say MSN is flawless. Just that people are really bad at determining responsibility for an issue.
  
  They're also really bad at delineating the nuance of different root problems apparently.
