@nixCraft Like the article states: "but it isn’t an isolated case."
It's a great research of only one example. Unfortunately, publishing houses/their authors loose thousands of dollars by fake-sites and fake books. Such companies even sell fake biographies when a well-known author launches a book. Meanwhile, they fake even voices, videos. Smaller publishing houses often give up ...
What we need are big publishers

        "In December 1993, the New York Times published an article about the “limitless opportunity” of the early internet. It painted a picture of a digital utopia: clicking a mouse to access NASA weather footage, Clinton’s speeches, MTV’s digital music samplers, or the status of a coffee pot.."

            Outsphere (1/4 serie)

            I enjoyed it. :0)

            The story follows the Ark, a spaceship carrying the last human colonists fleeing a devastated Earth to an exoplanet called Eden. After an 80 year journey in cryosleep, they discover a lush but hostile world, home to primitive species and the remnants of advanced civilizations..

            Outsphere by Guy roger Duvert: launches an epic science-fiction saga where colonization, transhumanism, and buried alien legacies collide.

              The Boring Internet
              The internet you grew up on isn’t dying.

              A commercial veneer glued on top of it is.

                    I spent hours poring over the different issues of ELPIS magazine, literally absorbed. If you liked this internet from the 1990s and 2000s, I can only recommend that you take a look. Fascinating! Written with passion. Rich in anecdotes..

                      The writer can be truly anonymous when posting to Usenet.

                      Usenet is accessible via TOR and open access servers that don't require registration or identifying information.

                      The writer can write and discuss using a pseudonym or pen name without fear of retaliation from employers, government, friends, and family. This encourages some people to share their innermost thoughts they would otherwise not express. Of course it also encourages trolls, but there are plenty of trolls everywhere else.

                      Usenet is text-centric so unlike the fediverse there is not a stream of distracting images.

                      Even after all these years I still prefer reading and posting Usenet newsgroups over all other forms of so-called, 'social media'.
