Outsourcing of content writing to Third World English speakers (for lack of a better term) appears to be ruining the online writing industry.
The Internet is a VERY big “place,” pretty much unlimited in size, so it’s always difficult to generalize. So, really, I’m only speaking from my limited viewpoint and experience when I make statements about online writing, website and blog content writing, etc.
