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. |
