Most recently, as in the last few weeks videos from all sorts of creators (even today) are cropping up talking about the dead internet theory.
Most of them are defeatist and doomer filled.

Its not the slop that is ruining the internet, the slop can be easily avoided, but when respected creators talk doom and gloom that i actually follow?

Thats the ones i cant apparently escape from.

I do not give a shit why you think "the internet is doomed" or how the dead internet theory is destroying the internet, all yall are doing is contribute to the problem with not as many as they should talking about how to do anything about it, yall rather get those sweet sweet doomer clicks.

I just want them to do the shit they are creators in the first place and leave it at that.

While I wouldn't go as far as to say that the entire internet is doomed and that every user is an AI, there is some truth to it. Even before the surge of AI content around 2020 with ChatGPT and the likes, the internet was already full of bots and troll farms were already a menace. This video is from 7 years ago, and the problem has only grown since then.

RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
