So... these sites are all just random text generators now? What's the point?
They just want to capture the person coming in off of a search platform looking for something in a game. It's all about the clicks.
I was curious about some stuff in Elden Ring, and every search I did had shitty, obviously SE optimized bullshit for at least the first 10-15 results. Well fuck that, I'll just read the also bullshit SE optimized wiki because I can at least keep the adblockers on and the scripts off and wade through the crap.
Cheaper to produce clickbaity articles. Most of these websites are already just trash "articles" made for clicks
