At first scan your site looks like one of those automated scrape and republish sites. I'm curious what got you on that blacklist (misspelling? bad first impression? automated tool gone awry?) though.

Glad you said something though, I wouldn't have looked at it twice without a human attestation.

I kept it simple on purpose. As a result, it loads faster on both desktop and mobile and passes web.dev PageSpeed insight test too.

For me personally, the titles are what makes it suspicious for me. I've almost never, NEVER found something good in an article titled "(top) xy ways to z", I've come to immediately avoid any article with such a title.

Yep, and it doesn't break if you have javascript disabled. Good work.

That doesn't really intersect with my observation in any way though. As a stranger I don't see your intent when I see your website, I just see your website.
