Engadget is Still a Spamfarm, It's Just an Amazon Catalogue (SPAM/SEO), a Sea of Junk Disguised as "Articles" With Few 'Fillers' (Real Articles) in Between

Engadget writes for bots now, not for humans

ALMOST a week ago we wrote that Engadget had become a spamfarm. Nothing has improved since then. Here are some of the latest examples (subset) with the links intentionally broken. Those are all Engadget URLs/URL titles (with the date of publication next to them) that mention "amazon":

There's even more. Engadget is basically SPAM/SEO (spamfarm) - i.e. the very thing Engadget's Will Shanklin wrote about 24 days ago. Was he being cynical? What are Engadget's owners thinking? That nobody is going to notice? Gizmodo has been doing similarly horrible things, including SPAM/hype campaigns for Apple and chatbot spew. Mark those sites accordingly. █
