Is this a ChatCPT written article to sell stuff or for SEO purposes? Definitely seems like it, and actually makes me wonder about the entire parent post.


I wrote my post with my own two thumbs, thank you.

The site linked looks like one of those stupid content farms that analyzes popular crap on Reddit. The stairs in the woods thing got popular because they are out there, but the is not supernatural - people just abandon or recycle material within structures in remote places if it no longer suits their purpose. Decking and stairs are often made of pressure treated wood which does not burn or decay as quickly and if they are concrete, they most definitely will not decay in a hurry. So once the combustible tinderbox of a log cabin is consumed or is recycled (via dismantling) all that is left is often just stairs.


Yea, I see more and more of these content farms when I'm googling various topics as well, which is actually making using the internet to learn how to do things less productive.

Your post overall was not written in that manner, but the tangent into the stairs thing was unexpected and borderline supernatural, actually would have been an interesting segue into a ghost story.

@influx post is so low effort it's hard to tell if they're the one profiting from the content farm or just posted up the first result he found on a quick google search.
