So much of what is posted to various web sites as "news" is rudimentary, repetitive marketing?
After all, that web page has a YouTube video as well as the "Latest Geeky Gadgets Deals" and the "raising concerns about authenticity and manipulation" doesn't seem to be such an issue for all those selling and pleading for Patreon and BuyMeACoffee and GoFundMe and the like.
Geeky Gadgets is a British web domain and company, in operation since December, 2007. Looks like two guys -- Julian Horsey and Roland Hutchinson -- writing articles and -- wait for it -- selling stuff. "Buy now." That's the message at the bottom of the page. M A R K E T I N G
One observes at the VERY bottom of the web page is a section for comments. Since 1 July 2025, the date of the article, there have been NO COMMENTS.
But as they "disclaim: --- "Some of our articles include affiliate links. If you buy something through one of these links, Geeky Gadgets may earn an affiliate commission." M A R K E T I N G
While the internet "could be" dead, marketing will never die.
You can pretty much generate content with just AI Agents, and you don’t even have to do any work, it will just scour websites and videos and come up with the content and publish it, as if it were your own.
Social Media is now getting “Usenetted”, once spam took over people just stopped using it.
Yes, the whole internet is now about marketing. Just a search engine exposes this fact. they have almost become useless to get any real information. Just folks who will SELL you that information you are looking for.
The new one is total irrelevant search links. Put in Stereos and get results that say “Shop for Stereos here”. But when you go to it the site is a travel agency and the header is “Book your trip with xxxxxx travel agency and shop for Stereos in the Bahamas!”
