Honestly, if you really think "trolls" are ruining the internet, you have no idea what the internet is capable of, about the amazing things it brings us and about the communities that are built around the internet that has adopted to these trolls. Yes trolls make things harder, but they are not able to "ruin" the internet.
Garbage journalism on the other-hand might actually have the power to do it.
Just like anything in life when it comes to the internet I think you have to use it for sometime before you can somewhat manage to spot whats right and wrong on the internet.
The author also mentions something about how the internet is eager to help with technical details and is bad for medical advice? Seriously? I mean, I once saw someone advice a guy to place his router higher than his computer, so that gravity will make the internet faster :) and I have seen complete strangers on places like reddit come together to help people who were having trouble with something, genuinely helping and making a better change in people's lives.
The damn internet doesn't care about trolls or there's no ruining these trolls can do to the internet. People are always going to be people, you are going to have to use some common sense when you are living your normal life and when you are on the Internet.
