Lately I have noticed some of the bigger platforms letting low effort guest content through thin articles, low engagement, zero formatting. It’s starting to water down the value. I have had to become really picky again, even with sites I used to trust.

that’s been happening a lot, once a platform scales, quality control usually tanks. Best move is to revet every site quarterly and focus on relationships with editors who still care about standards. Keeps your links and brand out of the junk pile.

Regularly reviewing sites and maintaining strong relationships with editors who care about quality is definitely the way to go. I’ve started doing quarterly reviews myself, and it’s made a big difference in keeping the link quality and brand reputation

Yes, quality control is dropping. Better to focus on fewer, high-quality sites than waste effort on weak platforms.
