I've purchased whatever Jason calls the big bundle from ML Mastery and the books are pretty much the same. I get the impression the primary goal was "produce a lot of pages," while "impart information" was secondary.

That being said, it looks like points are awarded two ways:

* Counts the least: Retweets and likes of a tweet containing a link to an article on the blog

* Counts the most: Replies and mentions of an article on the blog by other people

So I'm sure it's possible to game this, and it seems to bias toward incumbents (but what doesn't), but at least it's trying to be a little better than "here's a list of blogs I like."

Machine Learning Mastery has working code samples. That already puts it in the top 1% from my perspective and I definitely relied heavily on Jason's blog posts while doing my NLP masters.

He definitely has a far more commercial focus than many other bloggers but this seems a bit too critical to me.

I mean I spent hundreds of my own money on the bundle so it's not like I think he's a hack or fraud or anything of the sort. But there's a decent amount of duplicated content.
