New internet’s a crazy controlled dopamine machine of porn and propaganda filled with ads. Old internet was a cool hacker and hobbiest space that was basically ad free and filled with people that knew about computers. I can’t even go to most normal websites anymore because they’re bogged down with ad servers layered over ad servers layered over tracking servers.
Most people seeing the new internet on mobile devices doesn’t help because it’s inherently against typing long form content or reading long form content, so you just get porn in various forms.
I remember when Facebook first came out it was useful. An actual book of faces of people you know, divided by class and such. Then they added the ‘feed’, and it was the weirdest creepiest thing ever. It’s exclusively suited to insubstantial content of no substance.
