If you're asking something straight forward like what to do next in a game or whatever you'll probably find a lot of actual comments. But trying to check out reviews of products on Reddit, or any retail place like Amazon, will give you tons of AI bot shills who are only trying to push for their product. So it sucks I can't even rely on reviews. This has always been the case, but it's gotten so much worst.I'm not so great at noticing botsBut most of the things I look up (like learning about sewing or whatever) tend to have answers from pre-AI anyway!

No, it is not 2026. The current year is 2026.
I'm an old fart and I resent Google intruding into everything we try to do online so I do not 'google' anything. I do use Duckduckgo which seems to give me more relevant results rather than the most popular which is how Google works. The exception I make for Google is when trying to find an image match.
Even so, if I was putting Cheetos on my pb&j I wouldn't need the internet to validate that choice, regardless of which search engine I might use.

Ew that's nasty. My stomach has been on and off upset and this just made it churnEWW! I thought my bf was the only one who puts Cheetos on his pb&j sandwiches!
