like 80% of the posts on twitter now are blue checkmark accountsyou click on their profile to investigate further and theyre pumping out tweets literally every minutejust straight up botfarms flooding twitter because the blue checkmark subscription gives a payout for ppl engaging with your tweets. They always post the most thoughtless generic shit but it gets pushed to the top of your feeds because bluie checks get priority tweeting. Holy FUCK its like tiktok brainrot but on steroids. Just the most pointless DRIVEL circulating from LLM generationsAs somebody who has no friends and generally relies on 4chan and twitter for current event discourse this is driving me FUCKING INSANE and is really stretching my grasp on reality right now
>>83667632stop using twitter bro, it's been like that for yearspretty much all of the interesting posters went elsewhereand whats left is bots from india larping that they are saving the white racebots from russia larping about being americansthirst trap gooner porn spammersrage baitetc
>>83667644the alternatives that come to mind (tumblr, threads, bluesky) all seem equally terrible
>>83667666personally i just browse this site and a few small discords, average quality of stuff you find online is so bad in general rnhave to filter google searches based on years before ai to find anything half decent
>>83667718>a few small discordsHow do you find a good one these days? Used to be you could join a good r9k centric one shilled on here but nobody posts their invites anymore for fear of getting banned
>>83667736im in about 5 of them that are very active, but it's either irl friends or collections of old internet friendsi avoid any chan adjacent ones because it's the same unfunny idiots spamming slurs and being edgy 15 year olds in their 30si think people post those on /soc/ now
>>83667632>just straight up botfarms flooding twitter because the blue checkmark subscription gives a payout for ppl engaging with your tweets.Lol what? Then why the fuck am I wageslaving two jobs? I should make baitposts all day on X. Fuck this.
>>83667632Hope you go even more insane buddy
Tired of that claude code millionaire bot farm
>>83667644Don't forget the ai propaganda of stuff that literally doesn't exist like riots, people getting murdered, saying things they didn't say, those fake ai cartel videos (yes ai can make realistic gore now) like that one that was supposedly in Mexico of a bunch of narcos spraying into a supermarket full of people with lead and setting them on fire, or the countless race war videos of blacks killing whites and vice versa to pop the blood vessels of libtards and migats. The constant surveillance of you and your data being constantly whored out to chinks, jeets and glowiesI think in a couple of years I will just not use anything on the Internet except cloud services and email. Fuck this shit
>>83667822>>83667632>>83667644I don't know about you guys but my xitter homepage has been algorithm maxxed and now I only see posts I want to see on my homepage. For the most part anyways, a bit of slop seeps through every now and then.
>>83667837haven't used that shit in 3-4 yearsi still see posts from friends and shit that gets spammed here though filtersi also investigate bullshit from there once in a while>>83667822aware
>>83667666>the alternativesthere are no alternatives nigga. the current state of the internet was built between 2003-2013. there are no legitimate competitors that a consistent visitor base. we have to wait for the next revolution, like Parallel Internet or Clean-Slate Networking if you want any real interaction by intellectual people
>>83667632It was foolish to let the entire world use the internet with no strict rules or regulations. If Steve Jobs wasn't dead he should be flogged for this nightmare.Any asshole in any god-forsaken corner of the globe can get on a used iPhone and start posting whatever the fuck he wants as often as he wants ad infinitum. Or a hostile foreign government can make buy bot farms to just post the same fucking shit so it's on everyone's feed all of the time.Like next week, you should need an internet user-ID to post anything, it shows where you posted from, when you posted it, and there should be consequences for trying to start conflict. You know what, just flat out range ban most of Asia. From Northern Russia down to the southern tip of India. All banned from English speaking world wide web forever.I've had enough.
>>83668252with all the mandatory age verification and censorship laws coming into countries like the UK I wouldnt be surprised if everybdoy goes the national intranet route in like twenty years. That could honestly help a little.
>>83668295I welcome it at this point. Social media is unusable. Youtube comments seem like they were made by inmates at an insane asylum.I don't know who's sincere and who's just one of thousands of Chinese smart phones all posting the same thing.Take me back to when there were like 3 million vanity web sites and we just played flash games on 200k DSL. God I miss it.
>>83667632Whaddya mean, squirt? Me and yer nana are having the times of our lives on the internets!! Weeeee!!
>>83668525>that picwhat the shit
>literal grandmas posting on /pol/funny af
>>83668525>PEDE POWERWow this aged badly
i don't think its a dead internet nor does the theory exist it just seems like the west isn't used to/hasn't imposed candour on the new majority of the internet posters coming from developing nations
>>83668813the new posters from developing nations are AI generating all of their content which effectively makes it dead/er internet since they comprise such a large percentage of the online population now without actually expressing their human selves.
>>83668813>hasn't imposed candour on the new majority of the internetthis means nothing anoneven if the low quality ai shit flooding the internet is just third worlders phone posting like you're implying it's still aidshow is having "candour" going to solve that
>>83668525Threadly reminder: there's either a granma or a thirdworlder behind every MAGA post you read here.
>>83667666Honestly in the past few years Tumblr has gotten better, probably the more better of the twitter alternatives if you just know who to follow
>>83669367Yeah, Tumblr isn't bad at all. It has surprisingly low censorship too.
>>83667632There are many on X who have nothing worthwhile to say but who feel nonetheless compelled to say it.
>>83667632twitter purely exists for following porn artists, stop interacting with any other part of it
>>83668525This image explains like 99% of the posts on /pol/, that board is boomer central
>>83669650when I was flirting with men from /soc/ soo many 40+ men hit me up that admitted they were election tourists it was disgusting. Oldest was in his 70's
