The web is dead to me. Managed to keep the thousands of ads at bay for years but now the "consent" and newsletter popups and the non existence of "reject" button, instead several misleading steps to just look at a paragraph or two of text doesn't seem worth my time.
And even if I jump through the artificial hoops, there's no guarantee that a human wrote the text
Either I'll build agents to fetch the data I need or I'm not engaging. The concept of www is no longer fit for humans as consumers.
