Is this the beginning of the end, if the advertisers stop spending money then what’s the incentive for tech bros? Are we heading back to y2k internet where people made things just because.
We can only hope.
That would be cool. Like good ol’ times.
Nowadays people share information on Instructables or Hackster without any (visible) incentive.
It would be nice if they start sharing info in just plain HTML, with inline styles and low quality GIFs.
Bot websites filled with bot ads, paid for by bots with bot money because they are viewed by many bots.
Google has been filled with automatically generated SEO spam like that for at least 5 years, maybe much longer. ChatGPT generation is just the latest tech and is better at writing something that sounds legitimate. It still is fairly noticeable on many sites though.
I actually thought about setting up one of these myself, just to see how much money I could make off it.
