Waitaminute. Are you telling me there are stupid people on the internet talking about things they don't understand?

The internet is the worst thing we've ever done to ourselves. I mean, it was fine at first. But we didn't have enough cynicism to account for what corporations would do with it and that's, sadly, our own fault for being too naive.

    We had really high hopes and big dreams for the Internet when it was conceived.

    We ended up with social networks that steal and sell you information without your knowledge, and without any compensation to you, and "AI" slop for chat bots, and forum posts and pictures and even video now....

    This is not what the Internet was made for.

    I don't know if it's true, but it feels like the Internet was better when it was limited to enthusiasts and people in higher education.

    Letting every idiot post every word that comes to mind for the whole world to see was probably a mistake.

    I mean you clearly demonstrated how stupid you are, "let's nuke the internet".

    When did I say anything remotely like that? Thanks for calling me stupid for making an observation.
