What the article dances and skips around is the profit motive for doing this. I wish there would be an article that clearly outlines how these mills or farms or bots are clearly making a lot of money on each click to the site. They do not care the content, their only concern is the number of clicks and how much they make on each click.

For instance

"How a content farm works

A content farm works by producing a large volume of content on a range of different topics. Since they create lots of pages, which are optimized during the writing process, content farms tend to rank for a large number of keywords. Although there are content farms that focus on a specific industry or niche, many publish articles on a broad range of topics. These articles are usually produced by freelancers, but they can also use aggregated content from other sites. There have been a lot of claims that content farms pay freelancers very low rates for the content to ensure it is profitable.

Content farms monetize their websites using ads. This results in them needing a high number of website visitors to earn a good return on their investment. Content farms used to perform extremely well on search engines, which led to a lot of clutter and near-identical articles ranking. However, back in February of 2011, Google announced [1] they had made changes to their algorithm to increase the number of high-quality search results. This algorithm update had a large impact on content farms, causing their rankings to drop and many of them losing a large portion of their website traffic.

When is a site considered a content farm?

When exactly a website is considered a content farm is something not everyone agrees on. However, there are a few important things that indicate a website might be a content farm. Some of these are:

A broad website covering many different, unrelated topics
Many short, low-quality articles posted each day
Much of the content is rewritten content that can already be read on other sites
Many ads on the site, often without a clear separation between the content and the ads

The difference between scraper sites and content farms

Scraper sites are websites that automatically scrape and post content from other websites. These sites directly copy the content using software, without rewriting it in any way. The main difference between these sites and content farms is that content farms rewrite the posts before publishing, or just create low-quality articles that aren’t copied directly. Scraper sites copy the content exactly and post it on their site. "

Maybe the world UN organization would come up with a method to tax any EMF radiation sent over one country by another for purposes of obtaining data? We now have the technology to detect and track this back to source.

We should charge them rent and a user's fee. Fee to use our airspace. Per flying object they send over it.

'Pressure mounting on Poilievre to fire Poilievre.

Wait, his riding constituents DID fire him.

A significant portion of the US military budget is spent on graft, kickbacks, and outright fraud, disguises as research. Boeing is a case in point.

Metro is far worse than Loblaws. I have never found their prices anywhere close to being reasonable.

It really comes down to: do the citizens want a collective socially responsible leadership or an individual rights dictates all leadership. Socialism or Libertarianism. You cannot have a system that continuously waffles from one to the other, like the Americans are trying to do. The problem with 'democracy' as it is practiced in American society is that they insist on using a two-party (socialism vs libertarianism) adversarial system that keeps battling back and forth, winner take all. In that system, the 'election' only determines which side gets to tyrannize the other side. No matter who wins, the other side feels threatened by 'terrorism from the other side's dogma'.

The 'gold' refers to the cost, not the strength.

It has been pretty much ascertained, even at the neurological level, that humans are a herd animal. For instance:

The fact is, those who completely understand this, and have learned how to manipulate it, will be the ones who rule.

The bugaboo is the bullet point

"On-site one-on-one continual interaction with Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) end-users, United States (US) Government - Irregular Warfare Technical Support Directorate (IWTSD), and science experts."

To what extent will the Americans dominate the ownership of the intellectual property rights demonstrated at this event?

Right. Trump expects Canada to pay for the bullets that America shoots at us.

What you say is absolutely accurate, Carney's name never showed up on any ballot outside of his pwn riding. But they DID vote for representatives who agreed to generally abide by the Liberal platform. So indeed the heading should be 'Liberal' not 'Carney'.

But then again, a lot of Canadians actually voted AGAINST PP to prevent him from becoming PM. Even turfed him out of his own riding. Now THAT is personal.
