Why does everything seem like clickbait? (lemmy.world)

Things are going downhill far too quickly. Attention grabbing headlines and no useful content from articles rule the internet.

It makes no sense.

I cannot understand if this is due to AI, corporate greed, propaganda, or a mixture of all of the above.

I love exploring new and creative content. It brings me such great joy to learn new things.

Recently I've felt that I've been backed into a corner on every platform/service that I use and can't get out of getting the same spoon-fed content they think I'll like rather than allowing me to actually discover something fun and new.

Beyond the emotions which are stoked from these practices, we are seeing technology help refine these practices for business purposes at a rate never seen before.

It can really tilt the table to one's favor quickly. We are seeing these refinements in investing, markets, and pricing practices too.

It will be interesting to see how it continues as the efficiencies are squeezed out of these processes and what is left after.
