Yup I feel like it would do the same. Adding money to the equation can ruin the fun in many things, unless money is your primary motivator of course.

#5One of my more favorite hobbies is complaining about star wars on the internet. I suppose I could just go and find all of my old forum posts and then create a website around them. lol.

Best advice I've read on this site: never ruin a perfectly good hobby by making it a job.

#8That just sounds like work, you write and get money for it ... like a writer.
On top of that those websites are almost always terrible, full of long article saying nothing.

#10Please rather do the opposite of all of this :( Sure a lot of this "works" if you want to make a quick buck, but at what price?
"Content farms" like this are related to the "tragedy of the commons" problem from Game Theory. Yes, you can do your part to make the internet a worse place by using these methods (invasive tracking, hideous pop ups, sneaky ads, spamming people for 'backlinks'), but you're also helping to destroy people's trust in free content and swamping search engines results with typically "bad" content. You're weakening the foundations of what you're building on: a trust-based internet with easy access to good content.
Rather try focus on craftsmanship[0]. Write content that you enjoy, or work with people who are creating content about things that they are passionate about and enjoy creating. It doesn't have to be a conveyorbelt. You don't need Facebook Pixel.
It'll take a bit longer and it won't make quite as much money, but it'll also survive longer. If you believe in any kind of deity, karma, or other spiritual authority, you'll also be better off in their books.
