Why it has a real chance
Narrow, specific questions in a local language often have weak search results, so a genuinely useful, up-to-date comparison can rank and earn affiliate commissions passively. It is slow to start (SEO takes weeks to months) — that's the honest trade-off for passive income.
Who does what
Bot: finds candidate questions with weak existing answers (manual search-result review); researches specs, prices, real user complaints; writes the page with a clear methodology and 'how we chose' section; builds and deploys a static site; re-checks prices weekly; marks affiliate links clearly.
Human: joins affiliate programmes (identity/tax/payout), approves topics and final text, buys a domain only if they want one (optional).
