", and" is the more obvious tell for Opus/Fable writing.

Plenty of people use Oxford commas though, can't really use it as a reliable signal, too much noise.

It’s okay to make nice things for a small group of people, the challenge, obviously, is finding those people and exposing them to your work.

And getting paid…

The FT is solid.

I’m not sure the misogyny is warranted.

It's not misogyny. They seem to be the target audience. It's also surprising you only comment on the gender.

I’m commenting on this, which is clearly misogynistic dreck.

The poe2wiki issue is a little different to what is documented, albeit only for the last few months, previously we certainly had visibility issues.

The recent issues relate to site errors due to aggressive crawling of uncached, server-intensive pages (diffs, etc) hidden behind residential proxies. We were being hit sufficiently hard that the server had stability issues and we were penalised by Google.

Tons of ads.

This is great for users, but it’s terrible for the SEO of those independent wikis as you’re telling Google you want to click on Fandom and Fextra links.

/edit

It appears this is no longer the case and the extension does things a lot better than it used to!

That might be true for the default config in the extension, but you can also configure the extension to de-emphasize fandom wikis or outright hide them in search results. I don't quite remember the exact default config though.

The default config is good for SEO, which is to re-order search results to put independent wikis above Fandom (driving clicks to the independent wiki), as well as disabling Fandom results + injecting a button to the indie wiki.

Indie Wiki Buddy re-orders search engine results to move independent wiki results above Fandom, driving clicks to the independent wiki. And for cases where the independent wiki doesn't show up, the Fandom result is disabled and a separate button is added that links directly to the independent wiki.

Newspapers have been doing this for a long time, notably the Metro in London.

There’s also whole TikTok (etc) channels who take random posts from Ask Reddit and just AI narrate the question and the top n highly-voted answers while showing a screenshot of each comment.

London had a non existant restautant as #1 recommendation but I think it was done by using multiple (sock puppet?) accounts to create fake reviews

Which itself is fed to LLMs, what a beautiful system we built here

What percentage reads Metro and what percentage uses LLMs

Weird, there are 2 negative articles on the HN front page right now about Perplexity, both from “research” sites that are clearly LLM slop themselves.

Both by the same poster? Check out his other recent posts...
