news.1clik.net is not a replacement for reporters. It is a pressure valve for volume and speed.
People hear “auto news” and picture a content farm. That is not the brief we gave ourselves. The useful job of an automated desk is narrower: pull candidate stories fast, keep a readable archive, and free humans for judgment calls.
On news.1clik.net the machine handles the boring middle — fetch, structure, publish drafts. Editors still decide what deserves a push, what needs a rewrite, and what should never leave draft.
If you run the system with “publish everything”, you will get noise. If you run it with “draft by default, promote the useful pieces”, you get something closer to a wire assistant than a spam cannon.
That distinction matters for AdSense readiness too. Unique, reviewed pages beat a pile of near-duplicates every time.
