TopicI feel like we're on a decline of the internet

At first it was like a budding flower where there was new and fresh content but since it wasn't super duper streamlined and spread out, it was still new. Then there was a peak where there was the max amount of content with a minimum amount of filth. Now I feel like there's too much.

Information is too accessible where now even credible information isn't credible because anyone can find anything that validates their point. Facebook has gone from people actually posting their own little updates to just reposting memes from Reddit or going on rants. Google has now optimized its own search engine to filter based on purchase than actually showing you content from the web (even if it did this before, it's SO apparent now). You can't find links to things anymore because everything is DMCA. Youtube is quick to take down tons of vids and the vids that are around, you need to watch 2 minutes of ads every 5 minutes (we're BACK to having commercials except they're on the internet instead of on TV). Ad companies are hiring pro adblockers to promote ads past blockers. Articles on mobile are separated into 35 pages for a 2 paragraph story to get you to keep clicking. Messenger has ads, Reddit has sponsored ads, Facebook has ads.

Everything is getting optimized to be visible as opposed to existing and you choose what you want to see. I feel like we're starting to get negative returns on the positives of the internet. When the market is to capture your attention over letting your will guide you, it's scummy. It's not completely lopsided yet but I think we're getting there
