I think what is ending is not the Internet, but eternal September. Because soon every person in the world is online and there will be no more new people to continually corrupt the netiquette that we've built. Eventually we as a society will learn and form habits and social rules (or even laws) that create more harmony than chaos online. It's chaos right now because we're overwhelmed not just by people, but by corporations who do not have any framework for behavior that is conducive to a sustainable, functional Internet. Even corporations will eventually understand that this is destructive to their business in the long run. Perhaps, just like with civilization IRL, it will start with pockets of societies that have specific ideals for collaboration. And then the successful pockets grow to include more and more.
