The article says that it was written May 18, 2023 but it's listed under the 2024 section of "blog posts by year" and the author is now submitting it here for the fourth time:

1st time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37367895

2nd time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39688021

3rd time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40919190

is this some weird SEO game?

The article itself is also very shallow, and contains a significant amount of strange and/or repetitive wording and structure. It is a bit uncharacteristic of writing done with care about a historical topic of interest. And contains very little by way of meaningful citation or documentary practice.

I see in comments below some hypothesizing that it was written by LLM. If you are right, that likelihood is significantly higher...

Author here, not written by AI but I do use google to help research ideas I get interested in, thanks for the feedback though :)

LOL, author here. Isn't the entire internet an "SEO game"?

But to answer you question, no. I am just a blogger and I have updated this article half a dozens times, sometimes I miss updating a date and sometimes I re-submit after I update.
