It already has jumped the shark for me. I go online for HN, arxiv, stackoverflow/other online documentation, and google groups for my ulti league. I don’t use the internet for recreation anymore at all. It’s a cesspit. I have an rss reader that I check for headlines every couple of days, a Spotify account, and Hulu/Netflix/hbo go that I don’t use enough to justify the expense. If there were a way to find non-toxic, non-bullshit content (sort of an anti-reddit), I might consider using that if it were completely ad-free. I really miss the old days of the internet before there was any significant amount of money to be made. Forums, personal web pages, etc were fucking awesome. You could really feel the personal passion for what people were doing. People felt entitled to be themselves without fear of retribution, offending others, or failing at some standard set by society. Now it seems like everything is about chasing either money or likes. I fucking hate it.
