If my calculator had a history, it would be more embarrassing than my browser history.

I can see that. I think Web 2.0 got into really wrong direction, and now the consequences are so much so that people are not just leaving social media, but ditching mainstream platforms that used to share valuable knowledge relating to so many categories including health. Now, you cannot differentiate that is the person who wrote this article or video is really an expert or just pretending to be one by confidently speaking. And TikTok shorts has even made it much worse.

I honestly just use advance search on Youtube and search engines I'm using and try to find old articles and videos by filtering it to longer video (20 minutes). I think that old and long articles plus videos are worth watching, or maybe just read books from expert (I do that). I have autoimmune disorder, and the amount of misinformation that i see nowadays that just goes viral is concerning and maybe in longer run, might prove fatal, so I will say don't trust internet much for information regarding health. You can prefer Ted Health though. Everyone has learned the art of faking so well that everyone seems a coach and expert.

Look at this Scientific Journal Publishes AI-Generated Rat with Gigantic Penis In Worrying Incident

This paper too passed peer review, and it happened last year when generative AI was gaining a lot of attention. The paper was retracted after researchers pointed it out on X it was there for quite some time. It was absurd and completely AI made. I think you can't be so sure of peer reviewed papers much.

Making a typo in an online argument is the equivalent of your voice cracking in a verbal argument .

Believe you can and you’re halfway there.

No way, if a bullet is shot, it's sho. It hit right in my ass. I might forgive, but when I see that person again the wound in my ass will remind me of what they did, and I won't trust them the same as before. I mean the relationship will not be the same anymore. Forgiveness is God's job.

Can't believe they used AI for this. Nepal will soon be named nipple by AI and they'll accept it.

Fingers croosed🤞Good luck

Change is happening though see the insane demand for ad blockers, filters, antivirus, VPNs, and browsers like Brave and Firefox. With time, as I said his feedback loop will repeat and more and more people, even if they don't know much about how stuff is working, will come out of their Plato's cave.

I also don't support the websites like @SimpleStacker said that cover 90% of the screen. For once, try to see from the POV that focuses on showing adverts but in a non distracting way that's user-friendly. Like if you think this topic needs some attention, read the views from haveibeenpwned.com founder Troy: Ad blockers are part of the problem

Maybe an economist can tell us better if the web will improve or will become more garbage if people use blockers, filters, etc. to stop ads, trackers, and more. I believe a friendly balance is needed.

Agree that the web is extremely distracting and very unproductive if you don't use filters and ad blocker tools. It's been like 16 hours since I reinstalled AdGuard, and see the amount of trackers and ads that come in.

But please, normies are not to be blamed and made fun of. A huge chunk of the web is free, and lots of independent media houses are able to run and finance themselves because of normies being normies.
