Cyber-disconnectedness of growing population (CDGP) - A theory

I have been doing some homework on the ever-mushrooming scam companies over the www. I've been able to theorize the situation a bit.

The first question that anyone should ask is, why is there no stopping of these scam companies even though by the day people are more familiar with the Internet and communication technologies and the numerous relevant scams?

My theory works in the domain of cyber disconnectedness and growing population (CDGP).

Negative ReviewerMy careful research on some of the new companies, my experience as an academic writer, and other relevant building blocks suggest that the most significant strength of these companies lies in the notion of CDGP.

By CDGP I mean the entire www where people from around the world come, search for some information, and eventually withdraw. Though we are all connected to the web, in essence we are disconnected.

First strand of the theory: CD. Research has repeatedly shown that an average individual has just a few favorite websites (a much smaller number) to wrestle with on a daily basis. It is also argued that searching trends (e.g. using Google) are grounded in skills and culture of an individual.

Second strand of the theory: GP. This is not naive to state that countless new members join the internet on a daily basis. They are new students (to given an industry-specific example): new in the sense of age and new in the sense of using the internet for essay-writing help, e.g. a student starting to study overseas.

These two strands work together to help me understand a bit why the number of scam companies is on the increase.

According to my thinking, since people are disconnected, they don't know if some scam has been unveiled on a website. True that there are negative reviews, scam-stories, etc. They simply don't know. Why? They never thought about it - let alone googling it. They use a professional looking company for help!

The other strand is closely explanatory of the same attitude. New consumers of I&CTs are simply incredulous. They will most probably learn a lesson only after being scammed. They Google it, and they have it right on the first page!

Last and most important. Let's accept that mega scam companies are so (un)popular and people do not use these and get away without placing an order with them.

This is not the case with a neat and clean new, professional-looking website. It may or may not be run by the same background parent company, but the thing is it does not have any negative reviews. Bingo!

The other part of the theory is how, on earth, to combat this mushrooming of evil? Simple. More complex technologies and regulatory framework over the internet. And, this doesn't seem to become a reality at least in the near future.

More complex technologies and regulatory framework over the internet.

In your scenario, the regulatory framework would close all example writing/editing services (legitimate or not) or would allow to stay only those that contribute to the framework's agenda ;).

I must admit you've raised some very critical questions. Whose agenda? Who brings in force such a regulatory framework, etc.?

One thing, since legit (reliable and honest) example essay companies (and writers) are working hard (within the bounds of the law), I don't think any framework should (or can) try to restrict or disallow them from working.

What my theory highlights are the possible/likely reasons 'why' there's so swift a mushrooming of scam companies. To be honest, my theory has fallen short of dealing with more critical questions you posed above, and many more that can emerge alongside.

Thus, this is a work in progress... :).

It's actually simple - 'scam companies' create dozens/hundreds of websites hosted on different domains so that at first sight it appears these websites aren't run by only one or two companies. All orders submitted on their web forms are being funneled to the same parent system. Same companies hack dozens of other websites just to plant a link to their sites. That's all.

Looks like you don't have a 'go' for guys who theorize issues. Theory development is to problematize 'simple' issues, right? :)

Why use too many words to communicate nothing? I pity your clients.

Actually, they don't even have to Google it specifically, These days, when you search for a keyword, or search on general terms, the warning sites pop up along with the site requests. The students choose to ignore the warning signs because they don't see the importance of it. They just want someone to do their homework without breaking the bank to pay for it. That is the bottomline for their choice of company and writer. Financial considerations.

Students can disconnect from search engines these days and simply rely on Gemini or ChatGPT when writing their essays. These AI programs have become so pervasive in the academic writing world that students have come to rely on them to write their essays. The thing is, it is so easy to spot an essay written by an AI, which students fail to understand. An AI written essay reads almost the same as the OP. It is senseless, fails to make a point, and does not really help the student create a grade worthy original paper. Artificial intelligence is exactly that, artificial, lacking in logic and sense because it only takes information it finds and splices it together.

Relying on AI to do your research is a terrible idea, because, wholly aside from their atrocious writing, AI programs are notorious for using completely inappropriate types of non-academic sources, such as informal blogs written by random non-experts and grade-school-level websites. In this case, detailing how a university student got caught using GPTChat, one of the sources used in an essay about Leadership was a book about wizards and witches:

One of the biggest problems with using AI instead of search engines is that AI programs can't respond appropriately when asked questions that they can't answer correctly; instead, they simply make up false information (and fabricate nonexistent sources for that information). Here's futurist Ray Kurzweil on Joe Rogan's podcast explaining this phenomenon of AI "hallucination" and, specifically, why traditional online search engines are far superior (10:00-14:00):
