Hello again codeforces, we need to have a talk about the current state of contribution farming. I have noticed that lately, some users (that I will not explicitly name) have been farming upvotes, using the topic of AI and cheaters to do so, and it is simply something I cannot stand for. As codeforces' most truthful author, I want it to be clear that I will not post something agreeable simply for it to be agreeable. I make an effort to post thought provoking blogs that will spark creative thinking and interaction between commenters. When I see blogs doing the bare minimum yet being agreeable as possible to farm contribution, it makes my blood boil.
Some notable blogs that I see doing this:
I guess you are talking about me, who is posting blogs about cheaters to farm contribution...
Also, I think pilliamw's blogs still help the community on anti AI, and those blogs are definitely better than your dumb blogs. You should try to get a better contribution.
can we not explicitly name any users thanks
this guy spent ten minutes typing this in front of me when we have four AP Statistics practice quizzes due in two days. lock in bro, or else your wings are going to burn
Though this is most certainly ragebait, I might as well provide
Regardless of whether you think my blog posts are "contribution farming" or not, I do think that they bring up valid points, and the discussion in the comments section are definitely proof enough that they aren't necessarily agreeable. I also hope that they're thought provoking enough to engage community discussion as I believe they cover serious topics that the community ought to address — at least, more thought provoking than "help i keep selling contests".
