You forgot HN

I'm actually thinking that may be a good thing. Maybe people will get off these feeds and...interact with people IRL? ;)

There is nothing about using the most popular social media platforms in the world that implies someone doesn't have an active and healthy social life. If you think it does, you may be projecting.

IME people actually adore the videos of people eating a dripping and crunchy pulav (soft and dry rice dish) and it filling the stomach in 3 swallows, completely unchewed.

Previously, in the case of LinkedIn, filled with handcrafted slop.

Clearly there are people who enjoy the slop though, otherwise it would simply get no engagement and then get hidden by the algo like 99.99% of YT videos

Much of the engagement for AI slop is generated by AI bots. Remember that actual human traffic on the web has become the minority.
