They said no content and nothing - there's still stuff (and people) left over from the early days. If the internet had been designed by marketers and propagandists from the get-go, that would not be the case, so I think "because marketers and propagandists were not originally involved (and originally is suffiently recently)" is a valid answer to "Why is the internet not (yet) devoid of anything trustworthy or believable?".
- freeflight 7y ago> there's still stuff (and people) left over from the early days Very little stuff and only a very few people, they've also been busy warning about this whole situation, even offering solutions [0] that sound rather fantastical in their probability of being realizable. So while you are technically correct; There's still a little tiny bit of trustworthy content left on the www, it doesn't make really that much of a difference when 70%+ of the webs traffic is systematically routed past that to game the attention economy and facilitate mass-scale data collection.
