Well, well, well, it looks like Instagram isn’t the only one trying to look like TikTok. Amazon Inspire, a new feed coming to the Amazon app, looks a whole lot like the mega-popular social media platform.

Amazon Inspire supports both photos and videos (just like TikTok does now, by the way). It lets you scroll other people’s and influencers’ content as mindlessly as you would on TikTok, only you also get to purchase them directly through the app.

It does not take a lot of effort to start a new site and crank out a boatload of content, if all you are doing is copying your competition. With the photography market on the decline, a number of photography websites have already gone through their demises. And what’s left is being attacked by some very dishonest individuals and media companies that exploit search engines to move themselves up the ranks.

These websites are copycats – they crank out content on a daily basis solely for traffic, they have no communities and they have no real following. One such website is ExpertPhotography.com. In this article, we will take a look at how ExpertPhotography shamelessly stole numerous articles from Photography Life and other websites, and how it quickly climbed the ladders of search engines, even managing to surpass the ranking of the original content.
