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

And so, while some people have theorized how Internet has invaded/contaminated real life, I'd posit the reverse it's true also actually!!!!

Platforms and our current web didn't came out of nowhere, but from a specific branch of capitalism evolving and being (I feel) at the heart of our issues.

Maybe we wouldn't have had all those platforms without that venture capitalism and what it funded over the last 20-25 years,

But honestly??? Maybe it would be for the better if we were still in the days of all doing our own personal webpages and nobody had cracked the code on ragebaiting, all that
