No, actually it's NOT just about the same thing as using free articles IF you use PLR content properly.
First of all, they're not accessible to the same amount of people because they are paid memberships, and usually limited to a small group (at least the sites I would recommend are).
Secondly, it is possible to create unique content with PLR articles. If you actually take the time to add your own personality, notes, comments, suggestions, etc. into them, they'll be completely different than anyone else's.
For people who aren't experienced writers, this would actually take longer than writing their own article, but for me, it takes less time because I do have a lot of writing experience.
If someone's forte isn't writing, this would be a good alternative (financially) to hiring a ghostwriter. Many people do it, and they have success with it. As long as they use it properly, as I've stressed before.
Do you think John Reese writes all his own content? I don't think he'd be where he is today if he did. He outsources anything he doesn't like doing.
I personally prefer to write my own content, but I've got two kids and a messy husband to clean up after and cook for...sometimes I just don't have the time to sit down and write articles all day long.
And so, when someone asks for help, I'll offer it. If some people don't like using content that hasn't been written exclusively by them, then that's their prerogitive. But I don't reply with negative, sarcastic or cynical comments if I don't completely agree with them.
