The amount of websites isn't what eventually consolidated. Internet traffic did, and the value of domains went way down. That's why it's described as a bubble.

Anywhere and everywhere that isn't a scam site. Etsy, ebay, local and small business websites directly, b&h, sweetwater, newegg.
I just stopped shopping at amazon altogether. My online shopping experience has improved a lot since then.
The vast majority of businesses don't own domains and host their own websites which is what the .com bubble was. They host pages on Etsy, Facebook, squarespace, WordPress etc etc.
LLMs are not AI. They're content stealing blenders wearing a name tag that says AI on it.
The modern tech industry is all about building products that generate hype to impress the shareholders. Building good functional products to impress the consumer isn't necessary if you can simply put on a flashy show for the geriatric billionaires.
Conspiracy theorists aren't actually truth seekers. They're not out to discover the truth. They want to proclaim the truth and feel like special people who have hidden knowledge so they can feel superior. It's all about their ego, their sense of security, and nothing else.
All of this stuff is out in the open for all to see so the theorist nut jobs don't get to feel special by trying to expose it.
They'll do that anyway. They engage only in ideological proclamation, not critical analysis. They think truth is dictated by consensus.
You deal with these people by disenfranchising them and removing their opportunities to gain power, not by engaging them directly in debate. Never engage with an echo chamber if you don't want the ideology of that echo chamber to infect others like a virus.
They were always this way. It's sociopathy, not age that causes this.
It is supported in the nightly build and full support is in the works currently.
