Honestly I welcome the 'death' of the internet with open arms. Irrespective of the enshittification flavor of the day, the end result is the same - face to face human relationships will be back in vogue again, and the internet will go back to a complimentary role at best.
I would also like people to let go of the idea that the internet is Serious Business. People who live their lives on Twitter, discussing political matters of grave importance, people getting 'canceled' over inane shit is just ridiculous.
It should go back to trash talk and funny memes, and cat pictures and sharing baking recipes.

- big-green-man 2y agoIt's not profitable though. Or, at least, not sustainable, it's short term profitable during the rise of it. How is it actually profitable to distract people from doing productive things in order to get them to waste all their time? Ultimately the music stops.
