UbuntuPit (ubuntupit.com) Has Deleted Slop Pages, Its Slopfarm Experiment Has Failed (Like Always!)

posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 24, 2026

The other day we mentioned that UbuntuPit (ubuntupit.com) was changing its front page to reflect having no more slop pages. Previously, a few months ago, UbuntuPit (ubuntupit.com) openly admitted or disclosed that some pages were made by LLMs.

We can now confirm that some if not all of them are removed, e.g.: "Linux 7.1-rc3 Is Out with Heavy Networking Fixes and ACR Support"

Unknown Planet

It's gone. Let that be a lesson to others?

Turning one's site into a slopfarm is a death knell.
