I went searching for something today and instinctually clicked on a reddit link. Fortunately the sub was dark for the protest anyway, but it’s crazy how ingrained in me it is to go to reddit for everything.

Unfortunately now we’re going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like “TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023” to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.

      It can be. It just also can be a handy way to get pure misinformation really convincingly. (I guess that’s still not that different than Reddit lol)

      Came here to say the same. I’ve replaced google searches with BingAI prompts and get what I need, AD free, just about every time.
