To be clear, a lot of that is the Web, not the internet overall.

You claim that no one sees how bad this is but actually millions of people see how bad it is. Perhaps more. Perhaps tens or hundreds of millions. The educators, the authors, the small website people, Wikipedia, the list goes on and on. And that's not even mentioning the environmentalists.
One of your other claims is peculiar. You said that some of the AI promoters think it's good. But maybe that's deceptive. They probably think making money is good, and they would tell you that AI is inevitable, but it's unclear if they actually believe any of the bullshit that they spout. Probably some of them do, but they would deceive themselves in order to justify their own income stream, right? Insert that classic Upton Sinclair quote.
My friend, you could have called us "idealists" back then, but now you're just fooling yourself. Hillary and Harris lost. They lost, your agenda lost, your agenda failed. But somehow you have the gall to accuse us of being "idealists" when your own ideals keep losing in the polls.
Why don't we try something good, something that would actually benefit the people? Maybe that would actually work.
What would have happened if the finance industry had to regulate? Ask the history books. It has been done in the distant past, successfully, several times. And of course in other countries more recently, also successfully. It turns out that we can stop ultra rich from getting richer, but only if we have the courage to try. Maybe someday you will find it.
You seriously don't remember when Obama went the pro-corporate road at the expense of the American people, or even the globe itself? Really?
The Affordable Care Act. The bailout. The housing bubble collapse. The drone strikes. Letting the courts get stacked. The continued wars in Iraq and Afghanistan... My god, that's like every major issue, isn't it?
Of course he wasn't alone. I'm not blaming him as the only person responsible. But he was responsible, he was a lackluster president at best, and he spent eight years pushing the country towards where it is right now. Millions of us were saying that at the time, and we still are today. If you weren't listening, that's your own fault. If you didn't believe us, that's your own fault.
What is your baseline? Did you really live thirty two years never talking to a woman before? More information would be good.
And what are your goals? You're hinting at something romantic or sexual but didn't say anything clear on that subject.
