The title, the preamble, and the content of this article feel so click baity and unnecessarily elaborated.

I'm new to blogging about marketing so just doing my best, I usually write about technical topics. Happy to hear what I can improve for my next post, if you have advice.

It's ' -- the reviews show how' in the title instead of summarising how or even just not saying that that does it for me, I won't click something like that.

This content feels like it was AI generated then edited by a human.

Haha it was actually written by a human (me) but I did use AI to proofread (English is not my first language). So the other way around...

Thanks for commenting, I have no reason to not believe you so please take my comment as constructive =)

For context, phrases like "We'll take a look at" are what typically lead me to lean towards AI being part of the mix. There are other things about the article that did that too but they may be related to you working in a non-native language.

The post reads fine, I don't understand why others think it's AI generated.

About the post content: I found the analysis itself a bit shallow, but I really appreciate this new perspective on doing review-first analysis without even trying the app first, since it's something I've never considered

Thanks for sharing!

It feels like it was written by AI. Everything makes sense grammatically, but somehow it says very little in many words. Or maybe I've just become too paranoid.

I wrote the entire thing with no use of AI, but I did use chatgpt to proofread and improve my English (not my first language).

I'll try to make my next post more concise.

Thank you!

I'm new to writing about marketing, so I hope to improve as I go and offer better insight with more practice.

You could drop the “shows how” bit and go for something more direct: Analyzing the marketing tactics of an iOS app estimated to make $2m/mo

I see what you mean, I was trying to come up with a title that gets readers interested in reading the post, but I guess it came out too click-baity.

It comes across as a bit “wordy” hence maybe triggering some people’s AI “spidey senses” - including mine originally!

So perhaps more editing was needed, to distill the message.

If English is not your first language then it’s pretty damn good in that context :)

This user also posted the same article on the same website but with a different title, not 24h before this one.

I thought it's allowed to try to post the same article more than once no?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with trying different titles on a story.
