It's always been like this to some degree, and the internet is already full of crap content. I don't think ChatGPT and other things are going to make that much of a difference since people have been plagiarizing and republishing crap content for ages. There's so much to read that some obscure content spam blog is not likely to get that much attention; they are competing with all of the other content spam blogs.

The trick is to not fight the spam. You're trying to dam an ocean. Nothing you do is going to stop the flood.

Instead, teach people how to evaluate content and sources so they are media savvy (and this is not just for tech blogs). Promote the sources that you know are reliable. There's plenty of good stuff out there and it's easy to find if people try. However, the people most affected by bad sources are those looking for quick fixes who don't really care about quality anyway.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
