I can forsee a future when all the AI slop, popups, fake news, propaganda and ads have fully consumed the web.
Maybe then we just go back to an oldschool text based way of communicating.
No google. No socials. Just text.
We'll all just be fingering each other.
Can’t tell if this is a sexual comment or a comment on people tattling on each other but thought provoking either way

That should be Gopher for websites but advertisers would find it should it become popular. Text chat via IRCD. Advertisers get banned on IRC.
Or its modern incarnation, Gemini. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(protocol)
Do you believe that it is impossible to advertise, spread fake news or propaganda via text?
Do you know what the letters in LLM mean?
Tell me where the slop is distrubuted on? Its 99% Social media, fake news sites, propaganda like fox or any russian "news site" or some combo of the above.
If we dont have any of the above the propaganda or AI slop is just not worth it.
This is why having small focused MODERATED communities is the only viable future.
