I paid $50 for an 'AI-written' e-book on gardening and it was just a bunch of recycled blog posts, should we start a blacklist for these sellers?

Check the review sections on other sites too. A lot of those sellers have the same complaints on Etsy or their own store pages. A blacklist here won't stop them from scamming people somewhere else.

Ugh it's everywhere now. I bought a "custom meal plan" online that was just a PDF of generic advice from 2010. My friend got scammed by a course on "social media secrets" that was all free info from YouTube. Feels like every corner of the internet is just repackaged junk pretending to be new. A blacklist sounds good but they'd just pop up with new accounts.

Check the seller's post history before buying anything. If their account is only a few months old and they're pushing the same "secret system" across ten different subreddits, it's a scam. I look for people who have been active in a community for years, not just selling.
