This episode is hosted by Neil and Eric. They break down the rise of AI slop in products, marketing, and SEO, why mass AI content briefly ranks then disappears, and how real trust signals like E-E-A-T still win. The conversation also covers ChatGPT ads, early ad arbitrage opportunities, Microsoft’s take on AEO vs GEO, X articles growth, and why vibe coding and streaming builds attention before revenue. A must-listen for marketers navigating AI-driven SEO, content strategy, and emerging platforms.
