None of this is surprising. I’m very sad to say this, but the internet of today, for all of its sophistication, sucks compared to what it was, and all the promise that it held, 20 years ago.
- uniqueid 5y agoI wholeheartedly agree. If you want to depress yourself further, think about how much potential for good we squander on the web in terms of medical information. If we had designed the internet differently (eg: with considerations for privacy, authenticity, verifiability) we could pool resources and have millions of people report on medications, treatments, nutrition, etc. If a regular person uses the web we actually have today to do their own health research, they're playing dice with their life.
