Things are going downhill far too quickly. Attention grabbing headlines and no useful content from articles rule the internet.
It makes no sense.
I cannot understand if this is due to AI, corporate greed, propaganda, or a mixture of all of the above.
I love exploring new and creative content. It brings me such great joy to learn new things.
Recently I’ve felt that I’ve been backed into a corner on every platform/service that I use and can’t get out of getting the same spoon-fed content they think I’ll like rather than allowing me to actually discover something fun and new.
People’s attention has become one of the most valuable commodities on Earth. If someone is looking at your thing, that means you can sell them stuff, influence their views, and entice them to look at more of your stuff. That’s why companies are constantly clamouring with psychological trickery to get you to give them your attention in the first place.
