One thing is IMO that internet became victim of its own success and grew too big. You don't have physical constraints in it and you can grow almost infinitely.

One thing is IMO that internet became victim of its own success and grew too big. You don't have physical constraints in it and you can grow almost infinitely. Previously you'd have a bunch of users and mostly somehow tech literate. Now ~everyone is on the net. Most successful companies grew too much and with 1B+ users, each company will have tens of millions of users who are tech illiterate / harmful / scammers. Designing for such a massive user base and dealing with all this requires either enormous fleet of support staff, or "works for 90%" attitude powered by shitty AI which is unfortunately what happens. And then once you have 100k smart and motivated employees, everyone wants to move the needle a bit, hence everything changes ~weekly in every product. It's super easy to add new things and release in prod, much easier than before (better deploy monitoring tooling and practices etc.)
