Search engines are basically 90% blogspam promotion machines at this point, and the blogspam churning engine is going to become completely autonomous. The tools we're relied on for nearly three decades now are going to become a big virtual tug of war between machine-learning-guided SEO systems and machine-learning-guided ad revenue systems.

Every single anonymous interaction is going to be suspect. The next dogwhistling fucking cryptonazi groyper you run into is probably not even going to be a human being. Machine learning is probably going to elect the next US president. Eventually the medium will become so polluted that we will have to go back to doing everything in person.

Thank you for reading my doompost

    reddit for example seemed more like an actual succdem type place back in 2010, instead of centrism + 4chan metastasization

    Eh, I remember all the Ron Paul spam back in 2012. It was more techbro libertarian than anything else. There's a reason why /r/jailbait was a thing. Libertarians just can't help themselves.
