Not entirely sure how to explain it, not just internet, but the internet culture itself has changed dramatically. 10-15 years ago, it didn’t feel like everyone on blogs, forums, social media was chasing clout and financial gains. And even if they did back then, it just didn’t “feel” like it. Currently, reading a single comment or tweet in good faith is pretty hard. There are obviously countless exceptions, but still, it’s tiring if you keep wondering about “what are they actually trying to achieve with this message?”. In summer of 2016 we had this wild Pokemon GO phenomena that felt surreal. I didn’t really play much after a couple of weeks, but you could see the energy of different cities around the world by watching people outside. Would be very cool to see other mixes of internet with real life, but for some reason best we have gotten in terms of engagement is TikTok and IG.
