Blogspam is a term used to indicate that the article in question is just a rehashing of the real article that adds no additional content or insight, the sole purpose of which is to increase pageviews of the blog.

He is not saying that the content is bad, he is saying that the provided link is bad. This appears to be the real article (i.e., not blogspam): http://www.iheartubuntu.com/2012/11/ppa-for-netflix-desktop-...




Even so, this looks like a more accessibly explained tutorial, with original screenshots. I don't think you can legitimately call that blogspam.


Yeah, I've seen those links before, but I don't see how this article applies, this is not an excerpt with a link to the "real article" it's basically a tutorial.


Updated my comment with what is presumably the real article.
