“Let AI write this post” — LinkedIn, for years.
“Report as AI slop” — LinkedIn, this week.
You couldn’t make this s# up.
LinkedIn gave us the match. Now it wants to know who started the fire.
Google did this first.
Sites used AI to make lots of content.
More posts. More pages. More slop.
Then traffic fell.
AI got the blame. Bad plans did not.
I run content for an e-commerce site.
This year, I stopped making new blog posts.
I fixed the old ones. I used search data. I made them better at helping people buy.
And yes, I used AI.
AI did the work. I did the thinking.
Views went from 626K to 1.17 million in three months. Revenue tripled.
Apps change the rules all the time.
A good plan still works.
What did AI give your site? More sales and traffic? Or just more pages?
