    I feel like this, coupled with bot activity, has ruined the web for me. I find myself widely using it as much as i used to. Nothing is reliable really… Most review sites are just mindlessly strung together aggregates of other review sites, which are mindlessly strung together aggregates of other review sites (repeat ad infinitum). There seem to be increasing numbers of YT channels that are just bad ai generated scripts, read by a generated voice.

    The signal is increasingly just washed out by the noise.

      The name of the game out there for the past while has been algorithm manipulation. You can’t actually click on the things you want. Before every click, you have to stop and think: Do I want algorithms giving me more of this…?

      Or you’ll simply pay the price down the road.
