A somewhat sensationalist video. But a lot of good point are made. Preaching to the choir here…but I thought you would all like it.

    I was looking up a review of a mediocre tech gadget the other day. It turned out it sucked, in research Google took me to Reddit and every third post about it was a glowing “I use blah every day and it works perfectly for my needs and I’m glad I bought it.” The negative posts were obviously real with details about annoying quirks and the very positive posts were obviously AI/sponsored. And it reminded me why I left and how normal this has become.
