      It’s low effort content marketing or spamdexing. Basically, they buy or steal some generic, usually low quality, content and post it on their own site in order to either promote something they’re selling on the site, or as part of a more sophisticated SEO scheme where they try to game search engines to increase the rank of their site through increasing the number of relatively high quality inbound links.

      Unfortunately there are no rules against this on lemmy.ml, and there seems to be no interest in combating it in any way, so there’s quite a bit of it here. Some of it is even upvoted because many users don’t read past the headlines. Voting matters very little though, partly because so little is posted here that they get visibility and views anyway, but for spamdexing in partivclar they’re not interested in views, just the links, which remain regardless of votes.
