Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

fta “Kotaku's staff will be expected to create 50 guides a week at the site.”
Yeah, I’d quit too. I mean, aren’t they just going to be drowning each other out at that point?
Looks like they're trying to compete with AI spam.
Either that or trying to push their staff to use AI without saying it.
I would guess the latter. That's 10 guides a day. An even somewhat useful guide would take 5 days alone to research and write I would estimate.
What they want is the slew of spam-AI-generated "Here's how to obtain the third rusty shortsword in age of calamity"-"guides" where it's 5-10 pages of always the same overly verbose prose that's totally not done by an LLM, no no. And there's like 4 words of content in the whole article, about something utterly menial. And these guides exist for every single of 15000 items, in every single video game. Of course they do.
What does fta mean?
From the article.
Thanks, haven't seen that abbreviation before
