> It's definitely a real post.

The fact that the 'person' behind this post managed to publish a novel, a music album, and a few posts on fraud prevention all within a few days this month is enough for me to redflag it.

> you don't have any real criticisms.

Please check once again, I've already given my opinion on the article itself below. Here it is again for your convenience.

> I question the described approaches. For example, while impossible travel is a legitimate and widely used technique, it's related to online user behaviour based on IP address. Moreover, tirreno, for example, has separate rules for cases where the IP clearly comes from Apple Relay or VPN/Tor — those are separate flags. I assume some or all examples are LLM-generated, as the context is mixed up and no one actually collects GPS location in bulk for card swipes.

Yeah the content of the post is totally bogus, but it's still a real post. The post exists, you can read it.

A fake blog post would be something that purports to be a blog post but actually isn't. This is definitely a real post.

What would be a possible example of this?

I don't know, I'm not the one pointing at things and saying they're fake blog posts!

But examples might include something that looks at a glance like a blog post, but actually it's all just squiggles instead of words.

Or a link on the home page that looks like there's a blog post, but when you click it it's just a YouTube video.
