Why does everything seem like clickbait? (lemmy.world)

Things are going downhill far too quickly. Attention grabbing headlines and no useful content from articles rule the internet.

It makes no sense.

I cannot understand if this is due to AI, corporate greed, propaganda, or a mixture of all of the above.

I love exploring new and creative content. It brings me such great joy to learn new things.

Recently I've felt that I've been backed into a corner on every platform/service that I use and can't get out of getting the same spoon-fed content they think I'll like rather than allowing me to actually discover something fun and new.

I agree with this completely. It's essential to step outside, enjoy time with friends, and disconnect for a bit so as to not go too far down the rabbit hole.
