My take is this is just the way it is anymore through the evolution of the internet & web browsing.
Most of us here are of the age where we started out in web-based chat rooms & discussion forums on our PC devices. Then along came Facebook & more importantly the advent of the smart phone.
Once Facebook took hold the old discussion forums got pushed to the side & now almost everyone except a bunch of us old guys are spending hours everyday doomscrolling on their phones. A contagion of this scrolling is an endless stream of negativity & false information coming from keyboard experts who only know what they have seen on their phone, plus a pile in this misinformation is coming from Bots as well.
Then through the maze there's a common dislike & hate that been generated towards us boomers in general and there is an attempt being made within the youngsters to rename the boomers and spilt us up into two different generations. I only point this out, because it could be a reason for why this site is looked at as nothing but a bunch of old geezers. Take a look at the some of the posts here so far about I don't Facebook, never have never-will type comments. I'm not knocking anyone because I feel the same about Facebook and other platforms like Instagram & Tic-Tok but when someone of the younger generations see's these comments we instantly get stereotyped as a bunch of old grumpy boomer geezers.
I don't like the thought of the negative misinformation that being posted on Facebook not only because it is false, but more importantly because now in the age of AI which scours the internet for its information this false misinformed information about Parkers will explode exponentially.
I could be wrong, but IMO it's just the way it is and there's nothing we can do to stop it or slow it down. The best we can do is post good solid factual information about Parkers & hopefully it can cut through the fog & AI will use some of it when it's asked a question about Parkers
