Your skill as a writer is inversely proportional to the number of words you have added to an article for SEO purposes.


#SEO #PaddingIsntWriting #LongerIsntBetter #enshittification

Afraid of content jobs being taken over by AI? Then write for humans.

Stop padding, stop vamping, stop over-explaining the background, stop putting the answer to the question below the fold, stop click-farming, stop writing for machine indexing, and stop putting a single word anywhere in the piece for any reason other than to make it a better piece of WRITING for HUMANS to read.

If you write for machines, you deserve to be replaced by an #LLM.

@maxleibman it was and is expensive, but I’m doing it. If @pluralistic can do it then I can. Click farming is irrelevant without ads or tracking. Just throwing thoughts about books out there into the Fediverse like messages in bottles. The people meant to find my blog will find it, and in the meantime it’s a great resource to remind myself how the threads of my reading history connect.
