yeah, people keep confusing his guest posts as things he said . I think he should just make a second blog only for guest posts. it would lessen the confusion.

He wants to give those posts exposure by posting them on his blog, so a second blog would counteract that. What he should do is put “Guest post: ” in front of each title.

What would also lessen the confusion would be people putting in the effort to read a little further than the headline before coming up with a hot take.

People have disclaimer blindness. it's similar to sidebar or banner blindness. it is also possible it does not show up well on mobile devices. how many people read fine print or terms of service?

That's a charitable view point.
