I have given-up on So Many blogs and vlogs and user-groups lately!
As everything fills-up with adverts, and funding requests, and buy-my-merch requests...
Including subscription streaming services, including YouTube (++), including videos, blogs, essays (Substack!) - and just about everything almost everywhere I turn.
It's all variations on a signal saying: I'm not interested in communicating with you, so much as I am intent on extracting money from you*.
Well, it all makes it easier, indeed spontaneous, to do what I should be doing anyway - which is watching and reading much less of this stuff - or indeed none at all.
Every little helps!
NOTE: For obvious reasons; I also swiftly give-up on those who recurrently feature, use, or promote "AI", or who insist on discussing "AI" outputs in a positively-valued or hopeful way.
*It could be argued that this was always the case - more or less; and that is true. But nowadays (as the Christian West recedes ever further from living memory) the gloves have come-off, people are more naked in their motivations - consequently their selfish motivations are less mixed with that spontaneous, largely-unconscious, spiritual-level communal concern, which constrained people in the past.
