It wasn't a disaster until megaplatforms came alone.
- Gud 3mo agoBecause back then the Internet was a hobby itself. Normal people(for a lack of better word) mostly weren't online.
- ryandrake 3mo agoYou had to actually deliberately "go online." None of this always-on cable connection at home, let alone always-on wireless in your pocket. Nope, you had to deliberately decide "I'm going to go into the online world now." and then later "I'm going to go back to the real world." Much better IMO.
- SoftTalker 3mo agoIt's always this way. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, et. al. killed the social internet, as Amazon and Walmart killed the mom-and-pop retailers, as Blockbuster killed the local video stores (but then Netflix killed Blockbuster).
- jimbokun 3mo agoYes but that’s my point. Taken as a whole it’s been a net negative.
