Part vent. Part does anyone else feel this?
How unrealistic are all the clickbait/influencer ads and articles and videos all over websites now. Whether AI or just plain ridiculous claims. How do people fall for them? How can they even be working to generate clicks/money. Just make accessing any real information harder and harder. The certainly put me off of using any websites that have loads of ads and actively choosing NOT to give in to anything that smells of clickbait.
Anyone sharing real/scientific information gets totally lost because they are (have to be) honest with limitations of current understandings and studies. Influencers and clickbait can just shout absolute crap with no accountability and usually any attempt at references are circular (one article referencing a second one, which uses the first as its reference). I swear there's influencers making a deal about 'news' that was 'new' 10 years ago.
Urgh . Just another of my many annoyances with the mess that is society. Making everything worse/compounding issues everywhere while 'decision makers' look the other way (in the direction of their mates who are lining their pockets) and act surprised when things are claimed to be falling to shit when it seems to be going so well for them and their pals.
