Polygon did it again today!

And YouTube allowing 50 minute long AI slop video ads just makes me sick

I'm assuming it's this writ large (no shade at Alanah, purely for demonstrative purposes here) bsky.app/profile/alan...

I would say they're going to have to become like an Amazon listing before most people notice. Also this kind of explains why I haven't heard of anything despite following news sites. I'll think "I've never heard of this at all." Lolol maybe I just didn't click it because its vague.

As someone whose primary language isn't English, I had to read that headline about three times just to understand it. 😮‍💨

These headlines feel like they're AI generated. I also hate articles that bury the title of the show they're about. I promise I'll read the article if I know what it's actually about!

I think most of these sites are being read by more bots and AI than humans at this point, so maybe not?

This is not the point here, obviously, and I do appreciate the article, but respectfully, shouldn't Emily Blunt at least be mentioned if you're naming the stars of Sicario?

The full system need to be stopped and restart from the no name to the picture is a lie . Hell the old it hot lets show water or it’s cold let’s show snow .

I’ll admit when I’m super bored I’ll occasionally click one of those awful links, then scroll way down to solve the puzzle! (They are all over my chrome discover field)

Is it a new click-bait title template?

I am doing my tiny part in hand-coding my own website without LLMs, tracking, ads, megabytes of unnecessary JavaScript, Google fonts, analytics, etc because that's what I would want. Nice side effect: The thing loads super fast! Downside: It's not finished for a while 🥲

'other films by tom holland' no amazon, i know you started with books but films have directors and actors, two different things

Maybe that just amps up the intrigue? Maybe adds variety so that they can do it for multiple combinations? My hypothesis is that it's all about seeing the headline in a social feed and enticing clicks, not searching.

Scroll deep enough (not even that deep) on Facebook and Instagram and you'll find this stuff.

The Google news feed on my phone is full of this crap. Long strings of inane drivel that exceed the character limit of the preview, somehow making it even less informative.

... Always have been ...
