Pretty soon it'll be "Altman slams Musk"

[–] cRazi_man@europe.pub 36 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (2 children)

Altman says, Musk says, Polymarket says, etc etc seems to be what mainstream news sites focus on a lot now. It takes a lot of filter words to make my news RSS feed tolerable now.

In the early days of social media, social media used to steal attention/clicks from news sites by regurgitating news site material. Now news sites are trying to compete with social media by regurgitating whatever shit shows up on social media sites.

I've learned to ignore pretty much any article that is about what someone is saying. Report about things being done. Talking heads are not a headline.

Filters make the fediverse so much nicer :)

I might have to make a couple more after all of this.
