Well done! I've done something like this in the past for a few of my sites. Find a topic of interest related to the site that isn't getting too much attention and then take the top articles and paraphrase them, and improve on them. My biggest success with that process went to the #1 spot on G in under a month and I went from having nearly no traffic to around a few hundred hits per month. The topic (how we get paid) became fairly controversial and lawsuits started flowing over it within the industry, so I took it down to play it safe.
Like you, it's a topic I know about so it was real easy to "brain dump" and end up with ~1,350 words compared to their 300-500 words. Often I'd just use the heading and completely re-do the paragraph. I need to do more of this, especially for my other sites. I have tried spinners in the past (actually bought Spinner Chief) to help with some of the rewriting, especially on topics I didn't know well or that were very generic (like the history of a city). Still ended up taking a long time, but it became a nice unique article. On the newer sites, it's more finding topics of value since the niches aren't exactly flush with content.

how do you paraphrase them? Any software?
Pretty awesome share, thanks for the case study. As your traffic grows, have you considered adding Amazon or other affiliate links? I would think that your highly targeted traffic would be a perfect match for this, even w/o the “best of..” articles.
Much success and tuna salad to you!

I’ve been curious about using AI content for a while, have you had any results with traffic that you wouldn’t mind sharing? Just generally I mean, not talking spoon feeding lol

There's no amazon in my country, as people never order from amazon.
We do have some kind of profit share, but the payouts are even more garbage than Adsense, for example, you get $7 if someone orders a $800 laptop.
The other translated ones I have been doing great with ezoic @ around 7 Euro ePMV

That is the power of knowing English and being able to re-write a piece of content. Anyone reading this, if you have nothing but time, churn out re-written content that is 100% unique in Google's eyes and try your luck. I've personally done this and it works. Only difference is I use a paraphraser and then manually edit the article heavily to make it quick.
Yes.

Thanks for the whole thread buddy, takes a lot of stress out of the search for content.
Can I ask how you believe Bing have spotted you? Like who's to say the 30 articles from the beginning weren't just very well questioned topics?
If you found another 4-5 websites in the same niche and spotted say 30 from each and mixed and matched would that not just make it competitive analysis?

My biggest success and most of the ones I've done have all been by hand. It helps that I know the field extremely well. More recently I started using Spinner Chief based on recommendations on BHW. It does a good job, but like all tools, it needs some tweaking afterward. I find I do a fair amount of manual editing still. No tool will be 100% perfect. This niche is a new one for me, and one I'm not very well versed in, so these tools help me quite a bit.
In all fairness to the tool, I got it over the Black Friday sales last year and have only scratched the surface of the settings and what it can do. I'm also using it for content for a Tier 1 "money" site, where these tools are usually best for your tier 2 or 3 sites (I'm not using a multi-tier structure). The content is also very dry that I'm spinning/paraphrasing. Mostly history of the area and stuff like that for a travel site.

I have not used any tool, this is not about using tools.
I'm talking about using your hands and rewriting the original in your own words, without facing the issue of lack of ideas, since you have the original in your face.
Here's a quick example I picked from google just now:
Here would be my take:
1text says it's 67% unique. It's fine.
I could perhaps make it even simpler. Cut some long sentences and make 2-3 more out of them. But it's a rough example.
There are 4-5 free courses on Udemy(yes, FREE) which teach you how to do better as a journalist.
They emphasize the idea that most of them use A LOT of passive voice. If change a sentence from passive to active, you changed 99% anyway.
Then there are other aspects, my point was it's easy to learn.
This wasn't about half-assing your work using quillcrap or any other tool, but about manual rewording of an article.

Thanks for the detailed and helpful answer. Just to clarify, I understood in your previous posts that you propagate manual rewording of an article.
That's why I mentioned that if any tool is used, it is difficult to get a unique article.
I was wondering if you have ever tested any tool and what results it gave. (and it looks like you're not
)
As I wrote before, I appreciate your opinion about rewriting articles and I think you give the best advice about it.

Simply submitting links to either subs or hashtags, nothing complicated about it. Solely done for indexing purposes. I do have one do follow link from my own sub reddit, so I don't know how much that counts.
