The future is human curated content. Provide the same experience people get today but without the noise. Give them just the good stuff and don't let just anyone make a post. A book has an author, a movie has a director, maybe websites can have webmasters again who filter through the garbage for you.
The future is meeting in person and watching performers actually perform live.
You've nailed it. Social media is no longer and will never again be a substitute for real human interactions. It sort of worked when it was mostly real humans, but that era is ending and not coming back. Algorithms are now controlling what you see, and bots and agents are increasingly creating and posting most of the content.
Currently the biggest places with live performances are swamped and tickets get scalped for huge upcharges.
It’s what I’m trying to accomplish with my website(link is in my profile). Just trying to crank up the signal to noise ratio.
Nice. I like how clicking a tag also makes the word 'tag' light up.
Thanks for the kind words!
I got encouraged by another HN poster a few days ago, let me know if you have any suggestions.
I’m always open to criticism.
Everything clicks nice, so to speak. A nice UI you have there.
I would suggest you explain what it's about in one sentence, just like you explain in your HN profile. The About-page says not so much. You can add some explanation there, or even just one sentence at the top of the homepage (or other pages).
I got:

Thanks for the info, I’ll fix it tonight
Still waiting for that Contact link...

AI is sucking up that content and denying traffic to its creators. This model is becoming obsolete.
How did Yahoo work out compared to Google?
A curator with a great taste and judgement is king.
Yes, precisely.
This means that only sites which verify identity will have any value in the future. And by verified, that means against government ID and verified as real.
No amount of sign up fee works as an alternative.
Note that a site can verify identity, prevent sock puppets, ban bad actors and prevent re-registration, all while keeping that ID private.
You still get a handle and publicly facing nick if you want it.
The company which handles this correctly will have a big B after it. Digg actually has a chance at this.
It has no users, so the outrage won't exist in the same capacity. Existing platforms will be pummeled in the market if they try to convert to this type of site, as their DAU will likely drop a thousandfold, just due to the eliminated bots.
But Digg could relaunch this way. And as exhibited, this is now the only way.
The age of the anonymous internet is over, it's done. People not realizing this are living in the past.
Note, I don't like this, but acknowledging reality is vital. Issues with leaked databases, users, hacking of Pii are all technical and legislative issues, and not relevant to whether or not this happens.
Because it will happen, and is happening.
It should be noted that falsifying ID is a crime. Fake ID coupled with computer fraud laws will eventually result in hefty jail time. This is sensible, if people want a world where ecommerce, and discourse is online... and the general public does.
And has exhibited a complete lack of care about privacy regardless.
I think people who want to stay anonymous just will not participate anymore. Like I’ve enjoyed using this site, Reddit etc but couldn’t care less about dropping them if I need to have an id verification to access. Someone will probably create a new communication method to replace this.
>No amount of sign up fee works as an alternative.
Simply put money is worth too much, at some point someone will want access to this human audience and offer too much to be resisted.
>It should be noted that falsifying ID is a crime
Lol, no one gives a shit on the internet. People will use stolen ID'S to get accounts. If the network is lucrative enough, governments will provide fake IDs to spread propaganda.
Lol, no one gives a shit on the internet.
This is now, not the future. Times change.
human curated -> human moderated. I, for one, don't care if it's ai, or human-written. I care if it's interesting/useful.
results are important, not the tools or process. (on this matter)
Results over time are important. Or at least they should be.
