50 guides a week seems excessive. Are they trying to get them to quit?
Oh no! Anyway...
I'm hoping this will make them implode.
Highly likely. Even if they change course to become game journalists instead of lying activists that do not play games, what is their target audience? No self respecting gamer reads that trash, their audience is 100% leftists.
Yeah, that’s what I find weird. Are they seriously trying to pivot to being a game site? They know the reputation they have, right? You can’t just cast that off by putting up shitty “guides.”
They're targeting ad revenue from gaming SEO, which should be easy because Google likely already rigs the algorithm in favor of Kotaku. They want those IGN and Polygon clicks. Even Forbes is doing that shit.
Maybe they'll redeem gamer journos by posting a video of a completed Cuphead tutorial.
Depending on state law, it could be illegal for an employer to do something like that to pressure employees to quit.
They're just going to be ripping off reddit posts and steam guides full time.
They aren’t full guides. More like “here’s where to set up your base to get infinite sulfur in Palworld.”
50 guides is easy when you take 2 guides and break them into 25 articles each.
50 guides per the whole staff, not per writer. Plus they're telling them to just plagiarise from other guides without checking if they need to to meet the quota. It's just regular old content mill shit.
