The silver lining is that people will learn to just ignore such outreaches and word-of-mouth feedback will be important again, or at least I hope so.

Word of mouth with IRL people? I'm not sure I can assume anyone on any forum is real anymore. And if they are real, I assume they are marketers pretending to be users to push a product. Maybe journalism makes a come back if you can trust they are real and not a sellout.

The AI spammers will hire people on minimum wage to do that too, if they aren't already.

I am convinced that any post on Reddit that espouses the virtues of some or other product is a paid advert.

There is way too much corporate worship despite the platform's users generally priding themselves on being enlightened and smarter than the rest.
