I agree its bad and it should be fixed but...

I think AI is going to greatly decrease the quality of the internet in the coming years. What we have now, as bad as it is, will be remembered as being very good in 2035. AI will clog this place up.

Eventually there will be a serious attempt to make an internet where each user is a verified human person, to sieve out the AI slop, but I don't think that will succeed and anonymity is part of what makes the internet good.

One solution for some - but not all - of the problems we have is to go back to small communities, where each user knows one another, talking in their own servers, like BBSes often used to be. Discord leads the way here.
