I drink your milkshake! I drink it up!
The web also got bad before AI. The last time you could do a web search and find pages written by enthusiastic experts and hobbyists just sharing what they have to say on the topic of your query was, like, 2005. Then, it flipped. The advent of web ads meant people could easily make money from publishing websites. Sounds great. Except it brought in people whose main goal was making money, not sharing what they love. So then the results of your queries are links to pages covering the topic in the most superficial way and the author is a total nobody if you even know who the author is. There are businesses who figure out what users are searching for and then vomit out websites targeting those popular queries.
The same happened to YouTube. Like 99% of YouTube at this point has to be video essay channels with clickbait videos on superficial topics way longer than they need to be and released on a very frequent schedule. Early YouTube was one hit wonders. Ain't no incentive to publish regularly without ad revenue.
The good was being drown out by the bad before AI. AI is only accelerating it.
The participants in this are so selfishly rotten. I can't imagine I'd be able to sleep at night.
That's true. I've watched Fight Club.
It would also seem that the article's existence violates Wikipedia's "no conflicts of interest" policy and the entire list of sources violates the "no self-published sources" rule. I propose the article be deleted. Thoughts?

I believe this one has the audio and video desync in the middle. Use the one in @slothrop@lemmy.ca's comment.
It really raises eyebrows when you come across users who have posted nothing but aggressively anti-US anti-NATO anti-EU stuff for several years straight. No other interests. Nobody talks about politics nonstop. Nobody. It's straight up bizarre.
I remember the silence. Noise pollution is a big deal. All the creatures in any urban environment basically live their entire lives underneath a highway overpass.
