I don't know.
I hate everyone on social media.
So I'm happy.
But OK.
But then even if what you're saying is true, then maybe this is just a natural cycle of capitalism meeting innovation in that these ideas start.
They start pure.
They start with connecting humans.
Money gets involved so that they can connect more humans.
And then it corrupts everything.
And then the whole thing turns to shit.
And then it's on us to move over to the next thing or quit it.
How much of this is just this nostalgia play for the old internet?
And we've had nostalgia even before internet.
We've had nostalgia for the films used to be better.
Typhoid used to be better back in the day.
So it's like maybe there's this nostalgia play in your head of this older internet that was made by the smartest people on the planet that only the next 10% of smart people could use.
And we had this internet where it was just a very good faith, altruistic thing that people were trying to problem solve.
And now we've democratized the internet to a point where anyone can log on from their toilet seat.
And so now you have a bunch of morons on the internet.
And so, yes, things have gotten shittier, but it's gotten shittier because all the dumbasses have gone to internet now.
