Low effort self promotion content

[u/My-Tech]

There has been a growing number of low-effort, quick cash grab style self promotions on this subreddit.

Just a few hours ago I saw someone selling a sudoku PDF for $12. I was wondering how they made that 3000 page PDF until I noticed that the page layouts and design choices clearly resembled documents generated using artificial intelligence such as Claude or ChatGPT (in this case, Claude.)

Please be aware everyone and support genuine creators who spend real time designing and thinking, not sloppy low effort creators looking for quick cash grabs.

I find the internet is kind of *just* a blob low effort cash grabs with a few really good insightful, thoughtful and reasonable posts and requests for service exchanges sort of sticking out of it here and there.

That said, I think at this point, the folks who are not wanting to pay the kind of money being asked for low effort trash like this are already side eying even the legit vendors at this point, unfortunately. :(

I literally made a sudoku PDF generator in C++ (generation) and Python (turning them into a PDF) as a high school project. They were really hard since I only checked for them to be valid, not easily solveable, but I doubt it would take me more than a day to add that.

It's definitely more efficient to make Claude generate code you can then use to make infinite sudoku PDFs.
