The end of the Googleverse - Lemmy.world

Google SEO has homogenized the internet with vapid marketing content. The internet is one big commercial. The reason Reddit got popular was because communities found and shared good content and created more by talking about it. Now ads are disguised as posts and memes.

The internet is getting as bad as radio.

Imagine content creation that was done purely for the fun of creating content and sharing info, albeit with literally zero hope of receiving any money. Better in some ways, worse in others.
this seems perfect

Pretty much.

As soon as people realized you could make money generating content, it all became homogenized shit.

Same thing with video games. I miss the days when people didn’t treat them like a job.

Now every gamer thinks and plays like they can go pro, similar to elementary schoolkids on the basketball court thinking they’ll go pro.
