This is literally just exactly what SEO people have been doing for the last 15 years.
There is absolutely nothing new here except for using the word “AI” instead of “article spinning”. Which used to be considered blackhat practice lol.
Literally everything in this tweet thread has been standard practice among SEOs for at least 15 years. The change in the quality of the “internet” has occurred because of google getting lax on their standards and algo, not because of the SEOs. Back in the day all the spun articles would either be for niche content nobody was producing much for or it’d be page 2 stuff.
Not defending this shit. Just saying there’s actually nothing notably new in this tweet thread as it’s an area of marketing I actually know very well. Back in the day instead of feeding a competitor’s article into an “AI” and saying “rewrite this article” we used to put it in a spinner and the spinner would rewrite by using thesaurus and heuristics to rewrite paragraphs into new ones. It’d come out a little janky but it worked for serps so meh. That used to all be considered blackhat work but over time Google got lax on it and here we are, now it’s shit.
Yeah this is literally just an ad for the AI article-writing service this guy runs - and honestly I could imagine a lot of marketing shops are trying to run the same thing with just OpenAI API calls already, it looks like his prompt is just “Write an article based on this URL”, which is pretty garbage considering there’s more sophisticated ways at milling out bullshit like this.
Article pages that run ads. And building networks of high ranking high trust pages that can be used to link to other things for transferring trust. Ranking other stuff highly too

Generating 1800 articles in a few hours seems like vastly less work than doing the same thing “manually” though.
We weren’t doing it manually. It was just lower quality. Article spinning was always an automated process.

What’s the purpose of all this though?
making advertising money and maybe tricking a few suckers into using your Amazon affiliate link

Imagine stealing ad places then rerunning all other similar ads to your “brand”. It’s just forced exposure.
