Are the articles of the website “言葉の違いが分かる読み物” written by one person or multiple people?


There is a website called “言葉の違いが分かる読み物” (English translation: “Reading
Material Where You Can See The Difference Between Words”).

As the website title suggests, it has articles that explain the difference
between words. The articles are quite helpful. However, there is something
about them that puzzles me. It is that they do not say who writes them, let
alone how many people write them.

Here is an example from one of the articles to show why it baffles me.

> 「分からない」の意味と使い方について紹介します。
>
> **English translation:** I/we will introduce the meaning and usage of
> “分からない”.

To put this another way, is the subject of the sentence “I” or “we”?

Judging from your previous questions, I think you already know the basics of
Japanese, so I won't explain about the grammar for now. You were unable to
find anything about the authors of these articles because **they intentionally
hide such information** in order to avoid taking responsibility for the
content. Their [Terms of Use](https://meaning-difference.com/?page_id=96) says
当社, so this site seems to be run by some profit organization, but they are not
even willing to disclose the company name.

That site has tens of thousands of articles in exactly the same format on
random topics, and it's obviously impossible for one person to write them.
It's basically a clickbait site whose main purpose is to make money from
online ads, and such sites are usually not interested in the accuracy of the
articles. This type of article is usually written by low-paid, non-
professional part-time workers, and recently some are written by AI. No matter
how high the article may rank on Google, I strongly recommend that you do not
use the site's articles for serious research.

Since Google's algorithm no longer rates this type of site, the number of such
sites has decreased a little compared to a few years ago, but they are still
the type of site most disliked by conscientious Internet users. For more
