Yeah the internet was fine when it was just nerds talking about nerd stuff and relentlously fact checking each other. As soon as people realised they could make a lot more money from it by making it more accessible to regular schlubs it's been a shit show. It's a giant multi-dimensional tabloid newspaper now.
Take me back to pre-2012 when new grounds ruled online video content and half the US population wasn't a Nazi 🙏

Well that is the general enshittification process isn't it, be it computer games, search engines, AI or internet at large. When people realize there is money to be made of something that already exists and hasn't been sufficiently monetized yet, they descend on it like piranhas until only a husk of its former glory remains.
