First off, boating is a losing situation in the real world. Boats are super expensive and require a ton of maintenance constantly. You never own a boat; you own a money pit to maintain.

I just want to back up this statement. OP, this is the exact reason why having a boat is a flex. Nature is constantly assaulting everything man-made in this world, and water is by far the most destructive element in that fight.

This. Also, they’re kinda slow. Unfortunately, we’re in need of solutions that (in addition to using plants) work much, much faster.

The real question then becomes: what would you trust to filter comments and information for you?

In the past, it was newspaper editors, TV news teams, journalists, and so on. Assuming we can’t have a return to form on that front, would it be down to some AI?
