The internet is still great

You're not getting the entirely unregulated, Wild West days of the 90s back.

AskJeeves and AngelFire have been consigned to the dust of history.

So go we all.

Create your own elite, lightweight web networks, that is pretty much it

Counterpoint: The internet was never great

90% of people are zombies, hooked on the tightly policed and corporate-controlled so-called "web2." The word "innovation" has been reduced to a meaningless buzzword for boardroom bullshitting, and unregulated mergers destroy the possibility of any true competition, the true spirit of the web has returned to where it began: the domain of university research departments and antiestablishment hackers.

Web3 and Crypto ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ won't amount to anything when it's being pushed by idiots who couldn't pass a highschool economics or civics test.

The internet was a mistake.

Trump needs to impose some tariffs.

The Internet was great back in 1999 when ZDNet, Napster etc around. Those were the days.

It'll never be great now that normies use it. They turn everything to slop, just like the elder scrolls.

What's wrong with the internet?

If you mean THAT old they still believe ATARI 2600 and NES are trends. The PlayStation (1) would be NEW to them and they would consider it to be a trend.

The formula is; while it is "free" it is perfect. Then it becomes too big, because it has grown value. After a while, the value must be harvested. The free becomes managed. The managed become enslaved and contained.

Till the next "free" thing comes along. Right now that is fake AI.

Soon too, that will become too big, as it will be forced to have value, it is already managed, oddly it is pre-harvested since its never wrong and never makes mistakes, no, it is a machine, its perfect, predictable, logical, rational, unlike humans. Nothing will go wrong. It'll be awesome, you'll see.

Everything will be subsidized via adverts, the new job, is rate adverts and buy imaginary goods, with imaginary money, doing imaginary work, for imaginary gains; as the species sleep walks its way, into sterile empty arguments, ad nauseam, about how everything used to be great, how the future was boundless, but never can be, again, there is only one greatest moment of all time.

The golden age came and went, this is the dusk before the good night.

Dream up something new and remember what it is you have to do, when you wake up. Tomorrow is today, today is yesterday, yesterday is ancient history. Forever trapped in a historic moment, a boundless potential future trapped in a recursive death loop, trying to divide by 0.
