It’s modern day age of aura farming/seo hacking/clout chasing.

Just claim you are standard and then LLM crawlers pick up on it. The next generation is trained to just ask ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini/{w/e dogshit LLM} and they will unfortunately believe it.

Throw in some more keywords and signals like GH stars, docker container downloads to sell it.

Might not work now but it’s a small gamble that may pay off in the future.

That's very interesting. Hadn't thought about this PoV. LLMs definitely /can/ empower the wrong kind of behaviour, just like SEO did... and they amplify it a lot by not really showing sources.

Thanks for sharing the thought

To be fair this predates LLMs, SEO crowd was doing this even before to try to get into Google Answers, and before that to have a favorable-looking summary under their blue link.

The entire industry is full of tricks that may or may not work, seems closer to magic rituals than anything else. It's genuinely pretty difficult to analyze how well SEO tricks perform, so there's a lot of "wow, this site is doing well, let's try to copy the success by emulating its patterns randomly" going around.
