I don't like the assumptions I'm making here, but I still think it's worth saying to you and anyone who agrees with "the internet isn't what it used to be": Don't let your idea of the internet be what your habits are limiting you to experiencing. Create something that's your flavour of weird or interesting and put it out there. Link to it when conversation strays somewhere that it may be appropriate. Search for weirdness in the flood of what has come be to normal. It's like music. I listen to a local, community, subscription funded radio station because they don't play what most radio stations are paid to play. They play what the weirdly artistic hosts like, and they play predominantly local country (Australia) and local state (South Australia) music. There's a whole lotta bad music out there, and I've heard more than my fair share, but my word, there are diamonds in the rough. You just have to keep sifting. Most people don't have the motivation or energy. Most people are ... "Happy", I guess... listening to the same old manufactured bullshit on insanity inducing high rotation. Fuck man, music is life and most people choose to be zombies. I don't browse the weird web, but I know it's there if I looked hard enough. I seemingly am more "affected" by music than the average person, and so I do have the motivation and will to endure the sift. It's not for everyone. In fact, it seems to be for quite the small percentage.
