Sapling, Made by Scholars and GAFAM, Insists That BetaNews is Still a Slopfarm (After the Ousting of the Serial Slopper)
Earlier today we caught what seemed like a streak of fake articles about "Linux" in BetaNews. That was a big deal because the chief of the site was apparently doing this, we don't even know how long for.

What about the other 2 authors at BetaNews? Are they still real? █
