The ridiculous influx of articles that pretty much repeat things is useless. Articles should be vet for quality and original thoughts/ideas. I welcome new approach and different ways to look at problems but 90% of this stuff is fluff and repetitive. This is incredibly anti-productive especially for newbie who has to wade through this and who do not have perspective. This is just advertising real estate land grab. I'm sorry to be blunt but we should not have to be inundated with this. More specifically, articles with catchy headline topic that add zero substance. If experts are going to write an article, either 1) cover an actual subject (such as how to deal with boldface problem not something broad like "How to solve Gmatprep CR" then proceed to repeat what everyone already know) 2) break down an actual problem. Please no more fluff and especially no more editorial advertising. This forum used to be really good but now I think it got diluted with these articles. Just my humble opinion.
Yes, I'm speaking from experience of a newbie. I get sucked into an article then waste 5-10 minute reading advertising rather than learning.
