So, I've started to notice the Web seems to be getting more and more unpalatable. Pages are covered with links to stories about "jaw dropping dresses on the red carpet", "10 foods to avoid for less belly fat", "shocking this" and "Unbelievable that". They change every few months, but appear all over the place.
In addition to this, the quality of news articles continues to degrade. The level of click-bait nonsense and space filling waffle just grows and grows. Not to mention the prevalence of news stories with such atrocious spelling, grammar, and sentence construction one can barely make sense of them.
I don't want to live in a world of web sites that only serve to confirm my bias on various topics, but I do feel I may need to create some type of curated sub-web that only contains high quality sites, and generally avoid the rest of the web when trying to stay up to date with the world.
It does all make me feel rather sad about humanity I must say.
