You can tell it's going to be a quality site when the article begins with a selection of PHP warnings. One link gave me a 410 which was a surprise, until I realised it returns 410 instead of 404 for every missing page.

Please don't invest any time in these articles, the whole site is a bizarre AI generated marketing scam

The images scream cheap cow manure product comparison "our product is better than lousy competition". And it reads like a bloated LLM digest.

Curiously, I reverse searched a few of the alleged author's images and did get one exact match. On that site they were an Anonymous beauty blogger in a testimonials banner. That site also had a larger version of the same image with plenty of early stable diffusion style artifacts. Curious to know the process here, is it really easier to steal someone else’s slop than make your own these days?

Can you prove it pls?

I can't prove anything, but if you're keen here are the breadcrumbs I was was referring to:

I notice you've submitted a few of these links, are you in some way affiliated with psyll?

Thank you very much! This is very interesting.

Yes, I have written a few articles for Psyll, mostly on politics and geopolitics.

I also became a partial owner of Psyll.com five days ago, so your post is particularly relevant to me. I will look into this matter thoroughly and investigate what happened.

Thanks again for bringing this to my attention!
