Quartz (qz.com) is Spam and a Slopfarm

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 30, 2025

It has been widely known - not just rumoured - for quite some time that Quartz fired almost everyone and made a "pivot" to slop. Has that changed? No.

Here's the first article that we checked for slop:

An AI measure in Trump's megabill sparks bipartisan pushback in the Senate

It is basically slop about slop!

Random text selection:

The AI provision has sparked bipartisan concerns, with some Republicans opposing its inclusion while House conservatives warn that Congress does not yet fully understand AI’s implications to justify blocking state oversight.

What % of the site is just like that? Over 90%?

This was published hours ago:

Clickbait, falsehoods (fake valuations) - The race to $4 trillion (Slop)

It's basically slop linking to nonsense. The whole site is a joke!

Slop everywhere. Scroll down a bit:

Here’s what you need to know: I WILL TEACH U TO BE RICH

Oh, tell me how. Slop?

Scroll down further:

I WILL TEACH U TO BE RICH

So the whole site is basically a junkyard of scammers and charlatans.

It used to be OK. Then they fired the staff.
