Awful.

I’m someone who loved the internet at first: all the reference material available w/o having to sweet-talk ready reference....which had disappeared just prior.

Then, I got into FR, which was/is a great aggregator.

Now: IDK. I go to YT, which I configured to get rid of all junk & leftist stuff and just scan the loglines. The Headlines are all misleading. I trust 2-3 reporters, all of whom have ongoing hassles w/YT. Some loglines are misleading, too....play vid and it’s not at all what is claims. I fully buy into Macedonian Content Farmers.

My monitor is too old to have a camera and my husband blocks the cam on his laptop. He has a cheap Smartphone and we use it solely for essential communication. Some days, I’m glad for low bandwidth because it makes it more difficult for the malware crowd...I can time out before the s#!+ even downloads. We both have Kindles. He’ll use it for music and vids...I never do. No social media. No YT subs. I don’t want to play those games. Roku, Netflix & Amazon for TV and even then, so many new releases are poor content and production.

And that’s it. They’ve (multiple actors) weaponized technology against us and it just isn’t fun anymore or even accurate. Find info and spend hours verifying it because it could be fake.

I understand your grandson’s need for a tablet. I’ve read that even the Disney channels can carry disturbing images.

So many people have been revealed as venal. I may just go back to dead tree books from 30 years ago, my landline and drop everything else unless someone gets a handle on all this crap and stops it.

Caveat: I’m ill and therefore not very optimistic today. First time I’ve been ill in years. Hope it’s not the flu.
