The modern day equivalent to the old internet isn't YouTube or Facebook. That's the equivalent to Cable TV.
It's rather the private Discords, Signal groups and maker spaces, grassroots efforts like EleutherAI and what other cool stuff young (and old) people are doing these days.
Depending on how close you look, 2021 internet is everything as cool as it used to be in 1990. And yes, I was there.

- jfengel 5y agoSame way you did in the 90s. You bump around until you find something you like. Or get referred to it by a friend. The vast majority of it is crap. Always was. There's also a ton of things you'll like, but finding the things that you like but not popular with everybody else is a matter of sifting through (a) the things that everybody likes and (b) the things some people like but not you. Those two things make up 99.999% of the world.
