He’s right.

The Internet is dead.

I remember the early 90s, it was beautiful. It was slow and crude compared to today, but open and free.

Today, may it be the search engines, ISPs, government regulations forcing everyone to comply with their decency, law enforcement, mis/dis information, or intelligence requirements, the complete loss of privacy, commercial business that has structured everything to be a sales platform, or a few highly partisan monopolies that control broad aspects of communications and attempt to socially engineer things...

It’s an intellectually sterile sales platform run by algorithms where a few government bureaucrats and oligarchs decide what I get to see and then watch me seeing it, counting how many seconds I’m on that page and forcing me to click three advertising buttons to read a highly biased and amateur written news article, that’s all it’s become.

I miss the internet as it was back in the 90s and early 00s.
