Before long we’ll need a second internet just for real people, as this internet will just be all bots and AI content. Dead internet indeed.
Or better yet, maybe I can get some real hobbies outside of tech.
Incidentally, it is a site blessedly free of extra features that add nothing to the use case (sharing things you make).
This is the most common blocked site on ublacklist lists and kagi and probably it is also on many of the common dns blocklist.
Aside from making search useless, it just demotivates everyone. No reason to use a social media site that appears full of bots.
I know there are good recipe sites out there, you just will never find them, unless our search engine overlords slip and let one through.
The good web still exists, it is just that the search engines(our gateway to the web) are unable to find it under all the trash. My only solution so far has to been to start manually curating a list of good sites. A big part of the problem as I understand it is the search engines heavily prioritize new content over good content. To the point if I see a date in the current year next to the search result, I instantly reject it as seo garbage. If I were a better person I would sign up for Kagi, as I firmly believe a large part of the solution is to fix the business/customer dynamics, that is, you want to be the customer, not the product. But I am reluctant to sign up for another service so I am stuck shoveling slop to get through the web.
Currently looking for an actual house on real estate aggregators, and feeling the same way
The use case of someone preferring AI generated material vs the real material seems only to strike the algorithm and retention time of users so they always feel a sense of having what they need - despite it not existing.
