I dunno man. If you had something worth saying I kinda feel like you would figure out a way to say it with your fingers and a keyboard.

There is SO MUCH STUFF that you could read. You could read all day every day and not keep up with the human-written output in just a single sub-niche of writing within a niche sector. That being the case, you must use some heuristics to determine what should be read. Whether the entity publishing a piece felt it was worth human time to write that piece seems like a fine heuristic.

The privilege argument is so bad! We aren't doing this any more! The tyranny of edge cases is over. It ended some time in 2023. I am not going to feel obligated to read every piece of slop out there because 0.01% of authors have lost the use of their hands. Stephen Hawking somehow managed to write without AI.

The heuristics you are looking for are "editorial" and "curation". That's why there are things like newspapers and magazines. The world has always been awash in more low effort content than can be consumed. We rely on trusted human editors at these organizations to filter content. There is nothing new going on. Perhaps subscribe to sites with editorial that you agree with.
