    I only enjoy very specific hobby subs\forums. Beyond that you can’t find anything because all the search engines rank to by ads. Looking for a real review is a joke, its all AI\bogus.

    YT is getting worse w/ all the AI slop. I just stick to my channels that again are hobby/interests I have that haven’t gone AI (yet).

    I haven’t been on FB for over 10 years, no IG, no tic flop, or other social media because its a nightmare.

      I’m not encouraging you to use YouTube, but if you do, marking stuff you aren’t interested in and removing every slop video from your watch history can help a lot. The YouTube algorithm very rarely recommends slop to me

          YouTube paid by the time people actually watched the videos in the past (as far as I know this changed recently) so there was a real incentive for Youtubers to add a lot of worthless filler to the videos

          yw, also subscribing to the people providing good content should help too. Most of my feed is from subscriptions, with related content inbetween

            This I have seen in action, one sub I like is Mount Baker Mining, which lead me to Dan Herd, then to Mine Operator, and others.
