Low effort content might be the majority, but does that make it common enough to be a cosmetic annoyance like website styling? I'm not sure it does anyway because the content is the issue, not the styling or annoyances. A human written article with an idiot neon scrolling, blinking title would be fine. A plain text LLM article would not. One is objectively more annoying than the other.

minimum effort business model posting minimum effort slop to promote minimum effort agenda. the world disgusts me. RIPE really should know better, this isn't a mistake.

edit: fuck me, from the author page:

- may as well be a spam email itself

LLM content is the polar opposite - it immediately drains anyone with even a modest amount of attention span or intelligence due to the way it phrases and does linguistic gymnastics for absolutely zero benefit to anyone. All in an attempt to look impressive, like humans used to do by using words they don't understand.

Aside from a very small number of well known spam/abuse sources, it's largely from legitimate mail accounts on Gmail/outlook etc. or idiot msps.

It's not something that should be encouraged. RIPE should know better.

I receive single digit percentage of "spam" from randoms, 95%+ is from Gmail/Google, o365 or mailgun/whatever. Not one of them can either filter their users or actually action abuse reports.

Or even any offering, nobody else even comes close. Also OCI is just technically better than every other cloud, always was. And cheaper. Also their suggestion is to upgrade to "PAYG" as it has been for several years.

I swear people are even less informed than 20 years ago, it's very sad.
