So let's assume, just for the sake of argument, that you were foolish enough to try to make a living by writing high-quality, well-researched, technical articles about Linux and free-software development. I know that's crazy, but bear with me. In such a scenario, how does one succeed in a world increasingly full of stuff like this?

(I'll post no more links to that site, I promise).

These folks appear to take the stuff we humans write, inject a bunch of errors, then slop it out to the world.

If you were to engage in the silly quest described above, you would find that what you do is increasingly buried in the flood of this kind of material. Does anybody have any bright ideas about how one might survive in such an environment?

@corbet Don't post links to the slop? Post links to your original writing instead?

@corbet Best answer I know of: Find everyone you can doing such work and promote each other.

If the web's major institutions are promoting inferior reporting, you'll need all the promotion you can get!
