> The funny part is we used to think that the internet was going to change the world. We thought all idiots needed was information. Access to information would fix the world! I was 9 in '97 and wasn't really aware of the internet until maybe 3 or 4 years later. The internet seemed like a magical place, where reason and common sense existed (unlike the messy meat world). I bought into the same ideals that information was power and once everyone had access to information, we'd collectively get smarter and wiser. Less wars! I remember being excited for Google Search and then Gmail. FINALLY, a company that gets it! It seems that any public or VC-backed company is destined for enshittification.
