This is exactly the situation I'm in - I can't rely on reviews anymore so unless I know someone with personal experience who can recommend a product to me I have absolutely no idea which things ARE good vs. which things just LOOK good. Previously high-quality brands are also degrading in quality.

Information asymmetry ‘lemon problem’ - unable to tell at a glance *which* goods are high quality, consumers assume they are all relatively low quality and thus only pay for cheap ones

And you totally shouldnt change the character either. A large part of why I want to buy this game day one is how authentically you it is. Not because I know you but because I love how authentic it all feels as a dog therian and how I am so excited to be able to relate to a piece of art

The most interesting thing about automated theorem provers using machine learning is that whenever I'm trying to read a thread and realize it's gotten way too technical for me, I notice all the avatars are furries.

I mean man it is hard to convey how scorned furries were on the early Internet. Bottom rung socially. And yet they kept on yiffing, until at last they will soon be the only representatives of humanity capable of speaking the language of God, while we stare in the window as rain pours over us. Woof.

It always annoys me when people dismiss anti-aging research with "humans have been trying to cheat death since the beginning of time". You know what else we've been trying to do for all of human history? CURE DISEASE, but we only managed that after germ theory and penicillin 100 years ago!
