AI ruined google , it so sad to see the current state of the internet ... there used to be so many articles with real effort being put in written by people with real passion for their field of knowledge .... now if you want a genuine answer either you have to reddit it or search for a article written by a genuinely knowledgeable person (which is very hard as they get often burried upon by AI writen shit articles)
People who write on reddit dont produce the info themselves instead they would have also reffered to some book / article (mostly articles) thus reading the articles will give you more info about the topic .... just remember before reading the blog/article see the author and his/her qualification , most articles give a brief info about the writer at the top ... just make sure that person is genuinely knowledgeable on the topic .... also avoid AI written articles
imho libraries shouldnt have any religious books , if you want to read them either buy it yourself or go to the temple/ mosque / church / synagogue .... and I am writing this as a religious person myself
so why did they slowly died out and these platforms even after so many years are still standing (except lemmy obv)
