Do you make Chiefs content?
So, this is my old man, get off my lawn moment.
I like the Chiefs. I like sports. I can read. I have the internet. Sometimes I read what's on the internet, like many other people. I have Chiefs content pushed at me on every social media app, plus I have a hub on my phone that pushes suggested content. I will GLADLY read stories about my all-time favorite football team, the Kansas City Chiefs, and I will GLADLY watch random YouTube videos about that same team. UNLESS you title your article or video with garbage clickbait titles like "Rising Chiefs Star Builds Connection With Mahomes" and the "rising star" is Justyn Ross, who had two catches from Mahomes in camp. If they do that, I hate them personally (not really, but come on) and I immediately block that page, channel, blog, etc. from ever appearing on my feed again. I don't understand why anyone clicks on clickbait anymore. Or, another thing that has been pissing me TF off lately is pages that make 20 damn "articles" out of one interview, and presenting each as if they are actually new info or content. Travis Kelce gives an interview on a podcast, and I start seeing clickbait headlines like "Travis Kelce Makes Bold Statement About Harrison Butker" and the "statement" came from an answer he gave saying he likes Butker as a person and teammate. That's all he said, but it was a "bold" statement. And they use that same basic headline for anything and everything someone said in an interview with someone else. In the next sentence Kelce said he has never had a problem with any teammate with the Chiefs, and the "article" headline was "Did Travis Kelce Have Issues With College Teammates" but that's not what he said. I assume that they are just crap that some douche is creating with an AI macro or some BS, but that douche needs a nut punch or a clam slap. However, any Chiefs "source" that ends up in my feed, that is honest, even if the content is poorly written or something that I already knew, etc. I follow them, or subscribe, etc. It's probably only me, but I am high AF, and just saw like 20 of these BS articles in a row on the aggregator, and it's just FN annoying. TL;DR: I hate clickbait. |

I have to choose a few sources I trust and like the sources. Has to be timely. It’s tempting to click but finding out it’s a quote out of context from two weeks ago leaves me limp. Well, sounds like I’m getting stuff like I did 10 years ago. |

I don't understand some of the financial models of putting up "content". I guess people get garbage-y ads attached to their "content", and they make money when people click the garbage-y ads for some reason. So everyone and their ferret uses AI now to write garbage-y "content" in an effort to get people to click garbage-y ads in their garbage-y content.
That's a house of cards, and at some point it's going to collapse. But I think on the way down, more and more people produce garbage-y content chasing the dwindling and diluted payments for getting people to produce garbage-y ads. And then the introduction of AI lets people produce garbage-y content with almost no effort. The clear answer here is to not click on garbage-y content and definitely don't click on garbage-y ads. If we can show a little willpower against the clickbait, at some point the model will break down. But I think the key question is what will happen to the internet before that happens. It appears that we're headed toward a future where the internet is worthless, because real information and thought is going to be a smaller and smaller proportion of content. In two years, you'll open your browser and 99.9999 percent of what comes up in searches and on home pages will be utterly useless. And at that point maybe we'll start subscribing to hard copy newspapers and magazines again. I really wish I could block sites from showing up in google searches or on my home page. If a place produces garbage or is just a clickbait farm, like Ranker or Pinterest or Barron's, I want my computer to pretend that they don't exist. But I know that google won't do that, because they sell garbage-y ads on those garbage-y sites. |
