@madeindex we might need to build our own web search engine. I was reading about the indie web but facing the issue of "but how do I find these websites" situation
@squareScarletCougar But once everyone moves here, won't the massive amount of #AISlop move with them?
Right now this is an uninteresting target, as it's relatively small.
Yeah we need to promote it way more, today I actually began work on a subreddit called /r/fedipropaganda ;)
@madeindex Most of the slop is motivated by money. Once you are not being paid by the click the motivation for the slop goes way down.
@gam3 Yeah that is true. The political etc. content seems to be a much smaller portion. So you are suggesting the ban of all ads on the web? Probably also unrealistic as it also finances a large portion of it, right?

@madeindex YouTube is very expensive and runs on ad revenue, so I think it is the test case. The shorts, which are more click driven that time driven seem to be much worse than the long format videos.
Competition is likely the answer though. If YouTube gets to bad people will start paying for Nebula or figure out a way to pay for a PeerTube server or somesuch.
But it't the pay per click that is the problem, not the ad IMHO.
@gam3 but But why is AI PPC driven? Somehow seems to me like there are many other things it's used for, such a AD revenue, Affiliate Marketing, Promo, Propaganda and such?
