To echo another reply you got, since I'm in my late 30s and towards the 40s I definitely can see how a dude could feel more free of all that social burdain of trying to not be cringe/be cool, definitely looking forward to that!!!

Hope you have a very nice day 👍

And THANK YOU for this blog 😄

(Also my deeper answer, not very detailed tho because it's 5am here and I woke wayyy too early again 🥲)

I do feel this is less tied to the Internet and more into what capitalism has done to our societies.

As you rightly point out: it's not about coming back to some mythical golden age Internet

But you're right that it has degraded over the past decades, and even more rapidly in just the past few years.

It is my belief (but therefore I totally can be absolutely wrong, it's a belief!!!) that as Internet intertwined more with real life, it also became more susceptible to IRL culture/stuff
