     @marlin @greentext I'd argue scrapers and AI are the final form of clickbait writers.
     
     There was a video on my TL the other day of a chinese click farm and there's many videos of such online. There's also a whole meta about making money with shit blogs.
     
     There's an old forum called blackhatworld and while the name might make you think that it's about hacking, it's about making money on ads via SEO farming. It's been around for years.
     https://www.blackhatworld.com/
     
     I've seen certain websites exploit this to the point of drawing so much unneeded heat from people who obsessively use Google Alerts.

     @marlin @greentext underground friend only groups (that are very closed off but revolve around a specific group of people).
     
     Some are on Discord, some on TG, some on Matrix or XMPP.

     @marlin @greentext Or to add to that, scrapers and AI are the final form of the slop killing the internet.
     
     People come up with conspiracy theories on why AI is so big (deepfakes being used to frame people) when the fact of the matter is, corporations think they can use it to make even more money and replace humans for doing anything. I've literally heard normies and Teams meetings about AI, and MS even replaced the barely used "menu" key on the right side of the keyboard with a Copilot key on many new laptop designs.
     
     Normies also take a different view of AI than people on this side of the web do, people here use it to make hilarious racist memes or memes referencing events on part of the web, to make waifus/generic slop porn, or to avoid learning art. Normies either worship it and think it's a glowing magic box that can do anything, or believe in total AI death to the point of gooning over regulations on buying expensive GPUs that would make the USA regulations towards China look like Amateur Hour.
