It is clear that the signal to noise ratio of the WWW is getting worse. It's much harder to find good content when using a good old search engine. And if it's good it is usually hosted on Reddit or Stackexchange.

So remember, even if it's easy too Google something (well, it isn't nowadays), we want to create a fediverse of good content that helps people (I hope). So, it's always better to write a real answer if you have the time and energy. Please help boost the SNR and reverse the AI fueled information degradation loop.

Sure thats correct, but I'm a little uneasy with the idea of "burn down a useful resource for people becuase fewer people helped people results in slower increases of data to Reddit"

A trap for people isn't something I'd consider "useful".

Just like a pedo van offering free food to kids... sure kids get fed, but at what cost?
