I don’t know. People already pump out a ton of bullshit from content farms then litter their web pages with ads and last-click attribution.

End user value isn’t what drives a lot of “information” businesses. See any recipes site or “news” that’s regurgitating what someone “newsworthy” tweeted.

It will be interesting to see how search engines adjust. Maybe someone will make the GetHuman (https://gethuman.com/) equivalent of search.

I was just thinking about that today before reading this article. It took me like 45 mins one day to find a health site that wasnt trying to sell a product. Most of these for-profit sites conflate there content to jive with the products they are selling, which can prevent someone from finding information that actual does some good.
