This is such an amazing coincidence. I stopped reading Pando articles. It wasn't a conscious boycott. It just happened after reading a few articles and seeing little to no value in exchange for the time reading each one.
I wonder how much money this sort of non-article article brings in, and I wonder at how soon before we're using bayesian techniques to generate these sorts of stories from non-actual-authors. Automaton authors serving page views to automaton viewers clicking on ads they will never read.
The advertisers know they are getting fleeced, see the story about the Facebook hordes. I wonder when that particularly sorry pigeon will come to roost.
