  • The old, human internet did not work by passively getting interesting content shoveled at you. It worked by active discovery. You followed links from human content that interested you to other content you thought might also be interesting. If you had a feed, it had content you had subscribed to. You did a web search on something that interested you and the results were not all garbage (I would argue most of what a web search produces these data is essentially spam).

    Your notion to accept spam is because the enshittified internet has perverted your expectations to expect to find interesting things by passively having them shoveled at you, whether by social media feed or email.


  • This will sound facetious, but I recommend getting her a cake she likes.

    I don’t know if is too late to ask questions or do sleuthing, but if there was some kind of cake from her past she really liked that she hasn’t had in a long time that might be ideal. Like for my wife that was ice cream cake which isn’t as much a thing anymore as it was in our childhood. For me that is certain recipes my mom made in my childhood.
