"Earlier this year, WIRED asked AI detection startup Pangram Labs to analyze Medium. It took a sampling of 274,466 recent posts over a six-week period and estimated that over 47 percent were likely AI-generated. “This is a couple orders of magnitude more than what I see on the rest of the internet,” says Pangram CEO Max Spero. (The company’s analysis of one day of global news sites this summer found 7 percent as likely AI-generated.)"

How do points work on hacker news?

HackerNoon only supports canonical links to personal sites with SSL certificates and for companies in our brand as author program. This is nothing new. The poster here wants canonical links to their startup's blog without being a part of our brand program. He can do so by claiming his free credit/s, and just making the bio the owner of the content (his startup company and not him). https://sponsor.hackernoon.com/brand-as-author Publishing posts owned by technology companies (and not individuals) is a freemium publishing program on HackerNoon.

Here's more about how publishing and republishing on HackerNoon work:

Honestly, if you're using HackerNoon just to get canonical links, you don't understand the value of publishing on HackerNoon or other technology publication for that matter. It's about getting a free human editor and reaching people where they are.

ah looking back on what could have been... when medium started it did have much simpler experience than wordpress for managing the day to day of the site and its contributors.

It's about keeping content on the URL it is currently on.

hahaha

Thanks for the honesty Mercer, looking forward to moving past this and just focusing on making my site better.

We do need to improve quality control. Having software designed for multiple editors instead of one un-filterable feed of many submissions for so multiple editors will help tremendously.

But claps aren't an accurate measure of quality or traffic. Sometimes they display and sometimes they don't. Is 375 from 8 people or 375 people? It's designed to blur the line.

You my friend have some truth. The thing I made was attacked, and I made the comment they wanted me to make.

David from Hackernoon here. We've actually been using Medium as our content management system for so long there was no fee at all. They wanted to cover the fee to recruit more publications. While we haven't paid for hosting, it has come at a tremendous cost (to name a few: medium has our reader data, our subscribers email addresses, and runs many pop up create an account ads that very much hurt our bounce rate). Tradeoff was our own little version of this https://twitter.com/JulienVallini/status/1060177021953806342 Although we also wont be paying for hosting for the next year or so b/c we got a grant from GCP https://hackernoon.com/google-cloud-platform-hacker-noon-2ba... But ultimately, high traffic sites need to be smart about hosting fees, and I think our upcoming setup will be a good balance between calling the app and surfacing content from CDN. Personally, I don't think domains and people can be classified as containers, but word choice is an art and I certainly feel dehumanized by that one.
