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.
Sure, but are you willing to pay for it?
If not, this is just a popular form of choosing beggars.
I’ll pay my dues and sit though ad breaks. That being said, I loathe the current model of being endlessly tracked. There’s a firm line in the sand for me between collecting anonymous user data and direct user data collection.
You could explore RSS feeds as a way to consume content. It’s more work for you up front but will be worth it. Feedly is very popular. I like feedbin but pay for it.
