It is clear that the signal to noise ratio of the WWW is getting worse. It's much harder to find good content when using a good old search engine. And if it's good it is usually hosted on Reddit or Stackexchange.

So remember, even if it's easy too Google something (well, it isn't nowadays), we want to create a fediverse of good content that helps people (I hope). So, it's always better to write a real answer if you have the time and energy. Please help boost the SNR and reverse the AI fueled information degradation loop.

Thank you for saying that.

A little study of philosophy helps us ask and consider better questions, a little study of google helps us consider a world without CEOs and the constant encroachment of enshittification for shareholder profits.

Jesus thank you. And also dont post screenshots of web pages. We've gotten much worse since the reddit exodus.

Only if they include the link.

I prefer the screenshot to a webpage because

If it's a shit site, I don't want to give it clicks and revenue
News sites have a history of manipulating the title over and more to maximize views
Images are easy to scan within the Lemmy app. Versus kicking me to a browser that has to fetch data somewhere.
