Maybe I’m too cynical but I imagine this is a mechanical rehash of some actual human’s actual hard work.

At the very least, it's SEO drivel written up by somebody who does nothing else than that regardless of topic, and is paid by output (or ad conversions, ideally).

I've come across this type of text whenever I was diving into a well-researched practical tech topic that I had previously no clue of: 3d printers, HVAC plumbing, car repair. It seems that the topic must be basic enough to attract lots of people, but still valuable enough to be worth the hustle.

Frankly I like that this is what search engine spam is becoming: almost usable, almost informative, at the very least good enough to teach you the words to define your next search ...

Thanks for the audit.

Recommendations for an intro article on the same topic would be appreciated. There are lots of complex and/or vendor articles.
