=> The Different Types of Spammy ‘Articles’ and ‘Reviews’ Which Have Killed ‘Professional Journalism’ (Nowadays Mostly SPAM) | FOSSMint is Not a FOSS Site But a Proprietary Software Site
From today’s feed (an hour ago):
Image: LinuxHint selloutWelcome to LinuxHint.com, the site where you can become a “partner” and decide on what LinuxHint.com covers, e.g. proprietary Discord, Razer, Microsoft Minecraft. You can even advertise Microsoft Windows (it happened).
Image: LinuxHint keyboard: Linux? Really?This was in the RSS feeds moments ago. It barely works with Linux, but it has nothing to do with Linux. It’s about the affiliate links.
Image: LinuxHint spam: Linux? Really? Amazon link, Windows-only, $4000Nice of them to promote overpriced hardware. If only it was an option not to have Windows on it…
Image: Windows laptopSo a “Linux” site is basically a peripheral Amazon catalogue for Windows products… (this happens a lot these days)
Summary: The above spam has become routine in LinuxHint.com and there’s also habitual Windows/Microsoft “content”, which has nothing to do with GNU/Linux and is even worse than the promotion of proprietary things; the site’s editors are clearly exploring another direction because nowadays about half of the new “content” is programming (including Microsoft stuff), at least a quarter is webspam (affiliate links) and not much covers “Linux”, which the site is named after
