Topic pages are arbitrage when done ethically
Thousands of long-tail tags have intent and volume. **Tag info** + **archived_articles** + internal links from **related_tags** let you ship useful hubs—not thin spam.
Stack
- Seed slugs from root_tags and search
- Generate static pages per tag with stats + latest feed
- Add archive pagination for depth
- Link related tags for crawl paths
Avoid penalties
Add real value: stats, curated intros, clear attribution links to Medium. Thin duplicate pages still fail.
