Similarly, I have found a ton of beginner coding tutorials that contain mountains of useless/unrelated text. I bet a ton of it is SEO, but you gotta wonder if its just generated by something.

Especially now that things like chatGPT seem to write coding tutorials pretty easy (with less bloat than the ones I find on google)

Same! I was trying to figure out async diesel in rust and I couldn’t figure out why the tutorials weren’t working. There were several that had similar code snippets, but different (and sometimes nonsensical) explanations. Couldn’t get anything to compile. I finally found a GitHub repo that they all seemed to be stealing from and managed to figure out the missing parts.
