It cannot - more and more content is coming from AI so they are just “relearning” what one of the AI platforms has already produced… the endgame of that is convergence on nothing new being produced from AI

Aren’t we already doing that though with Mastodon, Lemmy etc?

Not approving of any corporate behaviours here, but extracting the maximum price a market will bear has been the basis of pricing and supply/demand since such concepts existed which is at least 250 years.

They do both, their own index focuses on the “small web”, more info here:

Thing is how do you differentiate between a bunch of people who genuinely like a product and are happy to say so because it’s solved a problem for them that they see other people having, and “subtle spam”?

For instance, I’m a Kagi subscriber and have been for some months now as it’s doing a good job for me, and I’ve had the odd person leap down my throat accusing me of being a corporate shill etc, and I am absolutely not (but that’s what a shill would say!!!)

How does anyone get a product recommendation from a product that’s genuinely growing in popularity so people are recommending it? I get there needs to be a healthy dose of cynicism but where does the line get drawn to the point where that cynicism is no longer “healthy” and simply means everyone distrusts everything that’s made by a company if somebody on the internet says it’s good?

Where’s the equal cynicism when somebody says something is shit and it could be a corporate shill from a competitor?

Should have waited until after the election later on in the year as, all being well, we’ll have a new government. This shower of shit we have in right now won’t do f’all for the average person that’s against business interests.
