    • 2025 April 22, Marcelo Soares, “Conteúdo, uma commodity cognitiva ”, in Núcleo Jornalismo‎, São Paulo, archived from the original on 23 April 2025:
      "Consumir conteúdo de gente ruim" não era uma questão; ninguém se supunha próximo o bastante para saber se ele é uma boa ou má pessoa. Sabia-se o que ele escrevia, e que isso trazia alta qualidade a um gênero baseado em brucutus de cueca para fora da calça trocando sopapos.
      "Cosuming bad people's content" wasn't a issue; no one assumed to be close enough to him to know if he was a good or bad person. What was known was what he wrote, and that this brought high quality to a genre based on brutes wearing underwear on top of their pants trading smacks.
