I have a business idea:

Vintage social media.

Only media that verifiably exists on the internet before 2021 is allowed. That’s still billions of cute animal photos and videos.

Honestly, I don’t think your edit is crazy at all. I have a hunch that all the fake, filtered, AI-processed, vtuber’d social media is going to result in a sharp backlash soon. Kind of like how over-the-top, image-focused glam and heavy metal of the 80s spawned a backlash in the rawer, more “real” feel of grunge and stripped down alt-rock in the 90s.

Maybe that desire for reality will be one of the triggers for the AI bubble bursting.

  It’s still a fantasy though. People aren’t in control of their phones/feeds.
  
  Heck, we can’t even get the world to use JPEG-XL or HEIF, much less capture RAWs.

    Well, I had a brief moment of hopefulness at least 😐

When I do search for something that is not a current event I will filter for at older results to avoid any inaccurate AI answers

I was thinking about digitally signing content and you can go check the author’s public key against it or something.
