I snickered at the emphasis on quality. Ahrefs web scraper reacted very poorly to randomly generated "content": https://github.com/bediger4000/infinite-fake-website

SEO is best avoided. It might not be illegal, but neither is farting in church. They'll both never be popular.

Others do agree with it?
