Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Dave,

There is a considerable amount of research being done by Moz and the Moz bloggers at the moment on this topic. A blog post is planned once the team reaches a conclusion. I would expect it within the next few days (if not tomorrow).

If the post doesn't answer your question, you might think about posting your own separate question to get feedback from the community.

Awesome use of the new Q&A Rand!

One of my biggest content sites actually has seen an increase in traffic since the "farmer" update. The content on it is definitely a tick above content farmed crap, but it's also not 5-star.

For what it's worth, it's monetized with AdSense ads and there's really no branded traffic to speak of naturally.
