Dead Internet Theory

opened twitter (now known as X), it's the same automated slop posted over and over again with a singular goal of farming engagements

opened facebook, my favourite groups are now filled with automated reposters

opened youtube, the glaring content farm videos following an obvious template with the same art style narrated by an obvious AI tts greet my feed

it is as if incentifying any sort of engagements through rewards, be it adsense money or just clout, directly correlates with the amount of automated braindead slops

i wish all other sites have the feature to just hide AI-generated content. Future content moderation is going to be insane

There's nothing worthwhile on the big platforms anymore. They're functionally quarantines keeping the newer platforms from growing too big and losing their quality.
