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

  1. Seed slugs from root_tags and search
  2. Generate static pages per tag with stats + latest feed
  3. Add archive pagination for depth
  4. Link related tags for crawl paths

Avoid penalties

Add real value: stats, curated intros, clear attribution links to Medium. Thin duplicate pages still fail.
