I disagree with the premise of this article, which is: the internet used to be so nice when it wasn't the center of humanity's activities but now everything sucks.
I read this: "I am sick and tired of having all of these costs externalized directly into my fucking face", as: "I am sick and tired of doing something for the world and the world not appreciating it because they want to do their own things".
Lack of appreciation is underrated as a problem because it's abstracted away due to the mechanics of the free market ("if you don't want it, just don't buy it"). Yet, markets are quite foundational in humanity's activities and a market is place where everybody can put a stall. Now, Drew can't have his stall and he's angry. But anger is rarely part of the solution.
His path is that of anger, unfortunately, with some hate added in too:

- seba_dos1 2y agoThere's a significant difference between lack of appreciation and vandalism.
