Petit rattrapage d'articles pour mémoire

Parents need to know that when children go online, they are entering a world of influencers, many of whom are hoping to make money by pushing dangerous products. It’s a world that’s invisible to us, because when we log on to our social media, we don’t see what they see. Thanks to algorithms and ad targeting, I see videos about the best lawn fertilizer and wrinkle laser masks, while Ian is being fed reviews of flavored vape pens and beautiful women livestreaming themselves gambling crypto and urging him to gamble, too.

On pourra dire ce qu'on veut, mais le web des influenceur⋅se⋅s, c'est bien de la merde... Ne pas jeter bébé avec l'eau du bain, toussa, mais quand même.

Wow ça c'est vraiment un très beau cadeau, merci !!!

People deserve choice, and choice requires the existence of viable alternatives. Alternatives and competition are good for everyone, but they can only flourish if the playing field is fair. It’s not today, but it’s also not hard to fix if the platform vendors wish to do so.

A post from Jason Velazquez called “Where have all the websites gone?” crossed my socials. It’s a good lament about the dearth of interesting content on the internet and how we’re stuck in the same boring content silos.

They found that, overall, "higher-ranked pages are on average more optimized, more monetized with affiliate marketing, and they show signs of lower text quality ... we find that only a small portion of product reviews on the web uses affiliate marketing, but the majority of all search results do."

Le web de qualité, le web fait par des vrais gens, est enseveli sous des tonnes de merdes... C'est vraiment terrible. Qui saura et pourra recréer un moteur de recherche qui aide à ressusciter les médias de qualité, redonner leur place aux blogs personnels ? Qui saura faire ça ? Ce serait formidable !
