Does the internet feel less authentic now?

The internet feels much less authentic lately.
Too many websites copy the same information and opinions from each other.
Forums and community discussions still feel more real to me.

I feel the same way honestly. A lot of websites today seem optimized around copying the same summaries, opinions and comparison structures instead of sharing real experiences or independent research.
That’s why I still like smaller communities, forums and curated resource hubs. They often feel more authentic and less “mass-produced” than typical review sites.
Lately I’ve been checking collections like this one because it connects multiple research sources and platform discussions in one place:
Online Reviews & Platform Insights on Strikingly
It’s easier to compare different opinions and discover useful resources when everything isn’t coming from the same type of template site.
