I do think the Internet peaked in the early 2000s. Things started to take a downward turn as social networks like Facebook and Twitter really took off and simple recommendations started being replaced by algorithms and endless scrolling to encourage nonstop consumption. The limited hardware and network speeds prevented some of that from being possible.
We're definitely overconnected these days. I think it'd be a net positive for humanity if the centralized social networks and mega services died.
