The source package you’ve provided is too thin to produce a reliable 1500–2000 word article under the strict rules you’ve set.

What’s in the package:

  • 1 Reddit post: “Which link building strategy is actually working in 2026?”
  • Score: 1, Comments: 2
  • Summary: (empty)
  • No YouTube videos, no competitor comparisons, no opinions, no tool URLs

The problem: The rules require:

“Use ONLY information from the source package” + “DO NOT invent opinions. ONLY report community consensus.”

With no actual content from the source (no quotes, no comment summaries, no discussion data), writing a substantive article would mean inventing the community consensus — which directly violates your rules.

What I’d recommend:

  1. Re-run the research engine with a higher source_count target (aim for 8–15 sources minimum for a 1500-word article)
  2. Add YouTube sources — search for “link building 2026” on YouTube and include those URLs in the package
  3. Expand Reddit scraping — the post has only 2 comments; look for higher-engagement threads (100+ upvotes) on r/SEO, r/bigseo, r/digital_marketing

Once you have a populated source package with actual summaries and community opinions, I’ll write the full article immediately.
