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.
Not just that, some review site look like they were put together by web scrapers and AI.
“Is this phone better than that phone? Phone A has a Snapdragon 8000 chip but Phone B has a Snapdragon 7000. However Phone B has more Ram (12GB vs 9GB). Therefore it depends.”

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.
