 @bhawthorne @Miniver in those situation I use kagi and filter out everything that has ad trackers. Even before llms, content sites with ads/affiliate links don’t have an incentive to provide quality information. Ironically, tools like perplexity.ai also help a lot navigating through the nonsense. 4 comments
 @mnl @Miniver It is the idea of a business model that is the problem. That’s not what we started the Internet for. And I apologize for my early contributions to the commercialization of the Internet. We were sure we were building better world, but were naive to think that it wouldn’t be usurped by the oligarchs. The next version should be non-commercial, distributed, and person-to-person. Let’s build it. |

@bhawthorne @Miniver I (optimistically) think that this is actually the snake eating itself. The business model of capturing eyeballs is disintegrating in front of our eyes. Soon only quality content will actually pull readers, through search engines that don’t incentivize selling those eyeballs.
