Hacker News user finds LLM-focused web content (/llm.txt) refreshingly simple compared to modern marketing-heavy websites
A Hacker News user expresses frustration with the modern marketing-heavy web and shares their discovery of using /llm.txt files (originally designed for AI/LLM consumption) as a cleaner, more straightforward way to access web content. They draw parallels to the simplicity of older protocols like Gopher and Gemini, and ponder whether the AI revolution might inadvertently improve the web experience for humans by encouraging more concise, markdown-based content delivery.
