    Lots of podcasts on that topic, many doing it 100% on their own dime, some asking for donations or subscriptions to cover production / hosting costs

      Is there some kind of alternativeto astroturfing going on today? I see they just rolled out a website redesign, but I literally only know them as a spammy SEO-bait site I wind up clicking accidentally when I look for software recs. Everything on the site is generic and AI-generated as hell. Tons of ads, AI generated images, and dark patterns.

      Mods, take note.
