This is coming, I've been thinking that you should perhaps start to be skeptical of any content created by accounts later than 2022.

Thinking of online reviews etc. where you don't have a proper log and can't follow a user properly.

They are really bad as is, but they could be made completely useless in a millisecond. Even proper reviews with images etc could be absolutely trivial to make and for $10 you could automatically generate rave reviews for your product and trash any number of your competitors.

We will probably need to identify users somehow, which will only serve the centralized FAANG version of internet that at least I despise.
