Yeah. The whole 'search engine optimization' scam has really messed things up.

I feel like, aside from a top few sites, most results just spit out content mill bullshit.

Ever notice how just about every explanatory article is structured the same way? They're trying to repeat the same shit as much as possible to get higher in search results.

"What is X?"

"Why would you want to do X?"

"Here's how to do X."

I just want to know how to do X, guys. Enough with the fluff.
