Sure, smartphones brought a bunch of idiots. But they also made the Internet so much more diverse and non-tech centered. Which is really beautiful.

- zozbot234 5y agoThe Internet has become far less diverse since smartphones. Because practically all "influencers" are now after the same mass-market demographic, that is all about passive consumption of the most mindless content imaginable. You have to look for specialized sites and venues to find anything genuinely interesting.
- majormajor 5y agoYou always had to look. There's more to find now, and to a certain extent it's easier than ever to filter out crap if you're willing to throw out the few worthwhile FB or Reddit, etc, groups with all the rest.
