I used to have the OPs experience and found the web equally as toxic. It all got too much for me during Covid times however, and I did a huge detox and cleanse of my online content. I left LinkedIn which was my main source of my angst, blocked the news sites at the router and unfollowed thousands of accounts. I also installed a bunch of adblockers. The habits have stuck for the most part, and life online feels so much lighter.
