I had cultivated a FYP that felt authentic to me, especially relative to everything else on the internet, but after a while it looked just as phony to my eyes, without any real change in the content itself. Just a different brand of phony.

This is exactly it - its filled with phony garbage but its a new and exciting kind of phony garbage that people lap up.

Also people are getting really good at making content seem real.
