You make some good points, Adebayo. I think many writers here start out writing on topics they have a passion for, then when they don't see results right away they try to pivot towards writing about topics that gain traffic. That's an unfortunate situation in many ways and is a breeding ground for hack material. Shit, you could say I'm guilty of it by writing this article lol but it wasn't my intention to publish a "meta" piece; I just needed to vent.
