What's the solution to the problem of hating the Content Marketing game?
I think the fear of having to deal with writing spam blogs/emails is one of the bigger mental hurdles to my eagerness to build a product like this.

I mean you have to let people know about this magical thing you've built somehow.
Unethical practices that work are still unethical practices.
With startups/apps it's now popular to brag about your revenue. Keep in mind, this isn't profit, so I find the articles pretty useless. I could start a million dollar revenue company by losing money on each unit sold, but what's the point in that? (unless I'm VC-backed and have a long-term strategy for growth)
When someone writes an article about how much profit they've made per month, then I'll take notice.
How about how we conduct business: Face to face meetings -> phone/mail -> email -> online meetings, for instance. I'm sure people thought during their time periods that there could be better ways to do this, but they need to see the solution before they jump on board.
My takeaway is that it helps people find the "magical thing" in the first place, especially the people who didn't know they were looking for the magical thing.
It's hard and can be a larger investment, but seems that writing spam content and then spending day/days on optimize ways to spam it through different channels is not that great way to spend your time.
After that, perhaps people would learn to search for stuff they need, and find what you built.
