I call that "Circle Jerk Journalism" were everybody short strokes and feeds off each other and just parrots with almost no original comments and talking points of their own.10 demerits for using the word "journalism" with such blogs, and that's really all they are these days.
Interesting to note that if you looked at 3 or 4 of them, at times you'd find the same articles, only very slightly re-written. They search the web for stories, make them their own, and post them. Sometimes their source is another such blog.
Gone are the days of real journalism - especially investigative journalism, especially when it comes to automotive stuff.
There is a theory called "The Dead Internet Theory" that basically states most human based original content on the internet died around 2016-2017 and about everything past that is being majority driven by AI produced or influenced content. I suspect many of these garbage articles are just that and the bylines listing an author as the original content creator a ruse.
