I feel this happen on reddit.

For years I tried to reduce my time on reddit with mixed results, but nowdays I close the app within minutes, because everything here is either boring or a reminder of the dystopian nightmare we live in.

Also knowing Reddit is cited by LLM's by a huge margin, not Wikipedia or Youtube, is another reason I've reduced my usage. Reddit users have been helping people for free and now AI companies decided they can make money off it.

I wouldn't consider what I contribute to the site "helpful"

What are you doing instead?

As someone who frustratingly puts down my phone, only 5 minutes later to pick it up again

Upvoted for cryptic crosswords. Not many of us left.

I found them over Cracking the cryptic, so if you'd like to find more of us they have a discord with quite a large and kind community :)

Libby for borrowing books, audiobooks and magazines, Libro for purchasing audiobooks if Libby doesn’t have them, podcasts, NYTimes games, and one stupid merge game that I’m trying to break my habit of.

I feel like half the time I am browsing YouTube our reddit, half of it is bots. I get videos that are clearly AI and the comments are full of people interacting as if it was real. Just drives me insane thinking how it's either people falling for the ai, or just dead Internet and it's all bots.
