Do you have some methods to mitigate the downsides of search engines and “AI” summarizers? Besides talking to folks online, what other methods might one use to sift through the internet’s vast expanses?

Not that I mind the last option, but for any of us to be able to provide each other novel information that we couldn’t otherwise search, it seems like there must be some other way to find info that one hasn’t produced or compiled themselves.

    I disagree. If you format your search query correctly, you can the right Reddit thread to appear without needing to directly ask for Reddit results

      If that’s your intention, why not just state it directly?
