RE: Creative Generocide - the road to low value content

I never heard the term "spinning" and I have to say that I disagree with you.
Maybe the people that you read when you google some title (as you said), they probably have way more experience in that particular topic you are looking for.

For example, I wrote an article on Artificial Intelligence here on HIVE, but let's say I am still learning AI but I want to introduce the basics to people, specifically here on HIVE where at lease it will have some viewer if I post it on a community (some say that when you are learning, you have to teach it to other people in order to say you understand that topic at all), but there's a catch, I don't have years of experience programming AI, it is logical that my post will be lacking "something", making my post, as you say, low quality content.

On the other hand, at first, I thought that "spinning" was applied to curators that gather a couple of posts and put it on a already made template with a generic text and get more rewards that the curated posts itself. It makes me laugh but it's real.
