The spam is all that's left, now supercharged by AI.
Anyone competent enough to make an information based website worth ranking on google front page will be better off making a youtube video on the subject instead and that's what they're doing.
And frankly, these videos are agonizing to watch even when they jump right in. I can’t effectively grep through someone’s rant when I’m trying to find information about that one aspect of a product that will make or break my purchasing decision. I don’t want to listen to someone wax poetic about the geopolitical economics of Consumer Packaged Goods when I’m trying to decide which desk to buy. It’s not that I don’t care about these things. It’s that I have other things to do too and this is time-consuming and inefficient.
Unfortunately you're at the mercy of what the people making the content offer and clear concise information earns the creator nothing while a 10min+ youtube video funds their hobby, potentially their livelihood.
This. The problem with YouTube is often enough, I’m looking for something specific that takes 10 secs to convey. I don’t want to watch a 10 min video to get the 10 secs I need.
Maybe LLM’s auto transcribing and pinning timelines to them (like loom does) is the solve.
