Somewhere along the way the wires in my brain have crossed and started associating the word 'content' with 'litter'. So a 'content creator' became 'litterer'. It made it make sense to me why the internet feels more and more awful. It's like a park being more and more covered with litter.

I could not agree more.

“Content” comes from a world where selling adverts is the primary business and the “content” is just used as a bait or lure to attract eyeballs. The quality of the “content” is a remote concern.

In Great Automatic Grammatizator by Roald Dahl was one of the stories that stayed with me through the years. In the story, there is a machine that can write stories, replacing authors but they were at least paying real authors to use their names. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Automatic_Grammatiza...

At some point we really need to separate news from opinions.

The generated content repeatedly saying it's fine to put aluminum in a microwave oven across multiple articles is disturbing.

So, do fake readers like the articles?

Ok, now we need an extension like ublock Origin to block AI generated garbage.

Something well established like Wikipedia but for search results sounds awesome but you will need a army of curator and editor and moderator.
