- Comment on Question about an article i found comparing MHA characters with Naruto characters. 1 week ago:
Serious answer, content-farm listicle authors deliberately make provocative choices to get more attention, and also usually don’t personally care about whatever they’re writing on.
Quoting from the wikipedia page of Screen Rant’s parent company:
According to TheWrap, previous and current Valnet employees claim the company prioritizes “mass quantity over quality to churn out mind-numbing SEO bait.” Once websites are acquired by Valnet, the permanent staff are usually replaced by contractors, who are paid significantly less (reportedly around $19 for 1000 words at GameRant) than the former tenured staff. One former contributor described Valnet website Collider to TheWrap as “a content mill, borderline like almost sweatshop-level”, while another writer suggested that Valnet forced contractors to create “junky clickbait” content.

Shoutout to Charles Mann’s 1493, which contains a remarkably insightful survey of potato biology and indigenous Andean cultivation. Highly recommend for anyone interested in the topic.

Is there a buried lede here? What’s noteworthy about an RC of a minor version release?
