Content creation is a beast and can be a minefield, especially in this AI-driven era, where many seek to “save time” by using AI to partially or fully write content, sometimes with little to no human oversight As guardians of the corpus of the web (it’s scary, but true in many ways), SEO professionals should seriously consider whether the content they’re publishing is valuable, useful, unique and actually answers the user’s question.

I have to confess huge frustration with too many of the conversations I see in my social feeds. People take a position, leveraging (perhaps cherry picking) data to support their premises. While, their arguments make sense–obviously, they’ve structured them to make sense, but they are fundamentally flawed. Most of the time, they are just defenses of the status quo.
