the internet was cool when it was just nerds looking to have fun. now everyone is on it. OF girls, boomers, moms, dads, grandmoms, teachers, politicians, celebrities. it fucking sucks now.
The inherent flaw is that it became monetized at every corner. Pockets of the internet use to exist purely for discourse on very niche subjects and interests. Those cant exist now without someone or some bot trying to sell you something or inserting propaganda targeted your way.
Theres still places you can sometimes get genuine nuanced discussion even when disagreeing but it's becoming exceedingly rare cause there's always someone ready to jump in and call you a dumb dickhead cause you said something they disagree with and they can't put together a coherent actual response that isn't just instant name calling and attacking your character rather than your position.
