The recent trend of him outsourcing his own posts is really annoying.

I don't understand how anyone can learn anything from someone who has pretty much diluted his work to appeal to the widest possible audience.

I mean the guy has a weight loss book now.

EDIT: Most of his recent posts have been "guest" posts, which I consider the same as "outsourced" since he didn't write it himself.

Interesting. I didn't know he outsourced his blog posts. Can you give me the link for that?

Most blogs call them "guest posts" — outsourcing implies that he's not explicitly saying it's written by another person.

Here's an example: http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2010/11/21/bill-clinton...

Most of his best content wasn't outsourced though. There's plenty of that too.
