Scraped and Stitched Content
Copying articles, descriptions, or answers from other sites, or from the top of the results, and republishing them either verbatim or reassembled with synonyms and shuffled paragraphs.
Analogy Mental model
Cutting three pages from three different novels, gluing them together, changing the character names, and putting your own name on the cover.
In practice What you actually do
The most common death for retail and affiliate sites is pasting the manufacturer's standard description that five hundred other resellers also paste. Rewrite it with your own buying advice, your own photographs, and the selection guidance only someone who handles the product can give.
Where people get burned Pitfalls
Translating material from another language and publishing it abroad counts as scraping too. Without local adaptation and something the reader cannot get from the source, it will not hold a position.
