I'm all for getting rid of clickbait and having guides, but 50 guides per week?
Wouldn't this qualify as....I'm not sure what the legal term but it's when an employer establishes bullshit employee output and/or cuts employee hours to put pressure on employees to quit rather than get fired.
They were apparently being told to just straight steal guides from elsewhere. So less like an actual writing of 50 guides and more like aggregating a bunch.
And if you've ever googled a specific game problem, you know the type of low effort guide they are talking about. Where they repeat the full name of the game, the problem in as many words as possible, throw in a description of the game for two paragraphs too, before giving you what an ingame tutorial already said.
So I don't think its absurd to try and force them, because I could probably steal or "copy but change a little" 15+ of those a day easy. Its more about dropping standards so low that the quantity skyrockets.
Kotaku still exists? 🤔
