Why car wheels are so flat these days
Does anybody actually enjoy this type of type of SEO content?<p>Stuffed with filler words to the max. <i>Maybe</i> there is an answer to the title somewhere on the page. But the way it is written, it just stole my time until I gave up after a few paragraphs of filler content. First sentence:<p><pre><code>    Have you ever wondered why designers show
    sketches of concept cars with massive deep dish wheels, but
    when those cars actually make it to production the wheels
    end up being fairly flat?
</code></pre>
No. I just followed a link "Why car wheels are so flat these days" and was interested in the answer.<p>Compare that to a classic essay "A plan for spam" by Paul Graham:<p><a href="http://paulgraham.com/spam.html" rel="nofollow">http://paulgraham.com/spam.html</a><p>First sentence:<p><pre><code>    I think it's possible to stop spam,
    and that content-based filters are the way to do it.
</code></pre>
That's the type of content I would like to see on HN.<p>If it was 2022 style SEO content, PG's essay would have started with "Have you ever wondered why you get so much spam into your inbox these days and why that spam is so terribly boring, sprinkled with typos and ads, often full of images and links, and what you could do to get rid of it?". Shudder.
