       It really seems like learning things has gotten much much harder in the last few years. Need a guide or tutorial? go slog through 8 hours of youtube garbage and ads. Good luck finding the info you're looking for. The only thing more useless than search engines are the results. It's all LLM slop now. You can't tell what info is or isn't reliable, and nobody uses searchable support forums anymore. Even if you find the answer to a question once doesn't mean you'll be able to find it again later.

       It's really hard to appreciate enough the advantage we had growing up during the time when the internet was useful and full of accurate, easy to access information, and experts that knew what they were talking about. Older generations were distrustful of the internet then because it was new. Now, they drink from the firehose of bookface misinfo and criticize us for being distrustful of the internet now because it's all turned to shit.
