There are people who write genuinely interesting stuff there as well.

I use block option there quite a lot. That cleans up my experience rather well.

Can to share some of them? Genuinely curious.
I don't know if I'm helping make things better or adding to the problem, but here's the sort of thing I share with my audience: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/day-life-hft-developer-two-de...
I guess people one would follow on other platforms, plus bunch others posting in my native language.

Even Krebs has switched to posting uncritical AI slop now.

A rewrite of slop post at https://abnormal.ai/blog/starkiller-phishing-kit

In the meanwhile, the exploit.in thread where this phishing kit is advertised is just full of users making fun of the author for selling vibecoded garbage. One user seems to have paid for the phishing kit, and says it just doesn't work at all and says the author blocked him on telegram after he complained.

It's a marketing piece hyping up a phishing kit that doesn't exist. Krebs gave up a long time ago, if he gave a shit he'd be more than capable of going on these forums to try and verify this story before uncritically repeating AI company marketing materials.
