I do not understand why people agree to spin their content. As a writer, one of the most frustrating things in life is being forced to rewrite something that you've put serious time and effort into. I don't mind editing based on someone's notes, but spinning is just tedious and silly.
It's a product of greed. Spinning means rewriting the a sentence without changing the content. Example:
-Dave wrote a story the other day.
-The other day Dave wrote a story.
A lot of people pay good money for crap like that. It's baffling to me. I suppose the point is so they can resell whatever you're providing them so it will pass Copyscape. Could you imagine being commissioned to not only write a 1K word blog article, but then having to spin it five times? Yeah. FIVE. I just came across an offer to do that exact thing.
To that I say, "Sit on this and spin."
The furious fiction writing, work for hire, and audio production of D. C. Golightly. Featuring midnight manhunters, robotic secret agents, starship constables, and whatever else crops up from beneath the pages.
Never heard of such a thing. Sounds silly.
