Ha, this reminds me of the "How to get rich quick" books that start off with "To get rich, write a book on how to get rich."

Besides that, I loathe """content""" sites. There may earn $10k a month, but they aren't adding 10k worth of value to the world. Their motives are clearly in money-making, not in informing, and the huge swath of them on Google search has drowned out everything that isn't SEO-optimized. Man, I miss the old internet. Please don't make things worse.

There is definitely a pattern where people make a small amount of money on some initial content site, but they make their big bucks on courses that teach _you_ how to make passive income with a content site. Props to them for being able to successfully build online businesses, I just find it funny that the real money is in selling the dream onto the next person.
