Maybe it was written by an AI. I'm serious. That a human would leave out that crucial component is indeed boggling.

An AI. Writing and publishing a stream of mid-quality articles. With ads inserted. Profit. Occasionally insane.

Here's a strange quote from it:

> In the early 1800s, it was introduced to the Netherlands and France, where it ... became a hit with Elizabeth I, among other royals

Elizabeth I was English and died in 1603. Two centuries before the 1800s. I am suspicious of AI for this article too.

Nearly every place that has writers on staff for any purpose is trying to have 1/4 as many (at most) just edit AI output.

The way they tune productivity is deliberately reducing quality of the editing. I’m not kidding.
