  • Close… I’ll download the HTML for an eBay search results page, and then a script splits it up into separate entries and feeds each listing’s HTML chunk to the LLM. I don’t bother with individual listing pages. (This falls down on some edge cases like listings that include multiple variants via a pull-down selection only found on the individual listing page. Maybe a future area of improvement.)

    I’m not defending social media or its algorithms, but you’ve also got to look at what predated it. People used to get their news and information from news anchors and newspapers that were mouthpieces for capitalists and conservatives. So maybe not as extremist or even as effective at influence as a social media algorithm, but still not great. Personally, I don’t want to go back to relying on corporate news outlets either.
