Why is so much of the internet terrible now fml

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 63 points 4 months ago

Cory Doctorow can explain it to you. He coined a term for it which has now become widespread, "enshittification." And it's all about money.

[Deep breath in.........]

Wealthy men that are perpetually insecure in life because their fathers didn't show them any outward affection when they were children are blindly and joylessly driven to increase a bank balance that they couldn't meaningfully decrease in a thousand lifetimes in the hope that it will make their fathers ghosts smile and pat them on the head (ghosts who don't even put out the effort to haunt their children anyways)

I'm dizzy, what just happened?

When's the last time you donated to Lemmy.world?

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

We’re all donating our time and attention to Lemmy, which is worth something even on a non-commercial site.

But yes, some of us also help with the costs and chores. I appreciate everyone who does but I also appreciate everyone who makes this an interesting place worth chipping in for

I asked chatgpt & it said this: " The internet can feel overwhelming or negative at times due to various factors like misinformation, toxicity in online communities, and the sheer volume of content. It's important to curate your online experience by choosing reliable sources and engaging in positive communities that align with your interests and values. Taking breaks from the internet or limiting exposure to certain types of content can also help maintain a healthier online experience. Don't share sensitive info. Chats may be reviewed and used to train our models. Learn more ChatGPT can make mistakes. Check important info. " I think that a better answer might have something to do with commercial interests.

That's a whole lot of words to say almost nothing.

[-] prex@aussie.zone 6 points 4 months ago

Yeah. Flying squids answer was better.

One thing I thought generative ai would be better at is staying focused. I think this starts well but in the second half has too many unrelated sentences

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
