    We are well past the tipping point of malicious websites being indistinguishable from legit sites unless tou pay attention to extra informatjon like the address bar. I would say that most of the websites I used to enjoy have gone to shit between ads and ditching their better writers for cheaper staff or AI. Most of the internet is crap.

    But there is stilll enough helpful content that the whoe thing isn’t worthless and I doubt it ever will be.

      The people creating that content will fade away.

      They are going to be competing with a tireless algorithm that can out out 1000x the content they can, with next to no “staff”.

      Those AI content creators will be making money for someone, and legitimate content creators won’t be able to keep up unless: they use AI content creation; or have a business model that will probably result in all legitimate websites being paywalled, filled with ads, or becoming a marketing platform for brands (worse than what modern day YouTube is like).
