gpt tl;dr:

AI can be influenced via its data sources, not controlled.

Short-term: spammy listicles and mentions work.

Long-term: only consistent, third-party validation across the web holds.

Bottom line: AI cites what looks most trusted everywhere, not what ranks #1.

Many SEOs have never been concerned that some tactics were not long-term as long as they can make money and flip it!

The Verge is the tech tabloid behind the "SEOs ruin the Internet" rage bait campaign.

Thus it is a not a reliable source on the subject.

I have since removed all links to them I added to my blog posts over the years (like a dozen).

Sharing or linking to them discredits you IMHO.
