If you look at the people who did it early, they're very different in personality than the people who are now doing it. I was the kid who would have preferred to sit in the library all day reading. Not that they let me. For me, I've been plugged into the absolutely largest library mankind has ever been built, since 1994 or so... and I still find myself amazed at what can be found online even now. Some of it are recently digitized works that because they were obscure, I could never have known they existed. Other things are discoveries (even amateur ones) that people post online today that would have been forgotten or unknown in the 1980s (unlikely for the people to have even put it in one of those crappy xeroxed newsletters). I check out Facebook once or twice a month because my wife tells me to like something on it. I didn't even create the account, she did it for me years ago. Even now, I read. And read. And read. Everything from rigorous scientific studies on down to the weirdest shitposting. From great works of literature down to fringe science theories. But all I see other people doing, if I notice at all, is watching Tiktok videos. Are any of the rest of you out there reluctant to bother with consuming video/audio content, even if a search seems to indicate that it might be the only place the information you seek might be found? Well, then you might be one of those personalities for which being online wasn't/isn't so shitty.
