Gregor and Magnus, the only thing I want in the world is an agent that removes all of the bad from the web:

- No more ads. No more banner ads. No more Google search ads. No more promoted stories. No more submarine ads.

- No more spam. Low quality content is nuked.

- No more clickbait. Inauthentic headlines from dubious sources are removed.

- No more rage comments. Angry commenters are muted. I have enough to worry about in my day.

- No more low-information comments. All the "Same." and "Nice." and low informational comments are removed to help me focus.

An agent of the future is there to preserve my precious time and attention. It will safeguard it to a level never before seen, even if it threatens the very business model the internet's consumer tools are based on. You work for me. You help me. Google, Reddit, et al. are adversarial relationships.

In the future, advertisers pay me for the privilege of pitching me. No ad reaches me without my consent or payment.

Please fix the internet. We've waited thirty years for this.



We see people replacing UIs and using browser-use to fill out the real UI. So there could be a world where everyone has their own UI, and you could have that filter option.

Furthermore, valid point: if Pepsi spends $1M on ads, why don't you get a piece of it if they pitch to you?
