The term "advice pollution" from this Guardian article on quitting social media.
I'm not sure I agree with the columnist, I think the internet has always been an opinionated space, and that's a good thing. To me the issue and why I find "advice pollution" so annoying/depressing/cringe-worthy is that the opinionated-ness is not honest, it's just posturing to try to gain the favour of the algorithmic gods. I'm happy to hear your opinions, but it has to come from a shitty website you maintain and through my RSS reader.

I honestly remember some Cracked articles from like 2012 that literally changed my life and the way I view the world.
