As I was looking for whole grain ramen options, I kept running across these comparison pages that looked suspiciously similar. Are any of these folks real? How would I tell? Not sure what to make of the sorority one.

I hate that, in addition to endless Amazon results, we have to deal with these (AI?) results, too.

    Wow! Detective @ilinamorato@lemmy.world exposed more than I ever would 🙂️ The fact that these use to be legitimate sites is pretty sad. It opens up an entire series of things to think about…

    Thanks for all of that info!

      No problem! This is the sort of thing I think everyone will have to learn how to do sooner or later. Viewing source, checking archive.org, and such are just going to be a part of evaluating a site for legitimacy. I’m happy to help make it seem more attainable!
