the internet was awesome for like ... twenty years. thirty if you count the era where people mostly communicated through newsgroups and such. it feels like the enshittification was so sudden...
It's been going to shit since like, 2015? I think that's about when ad blockers became a necessity to just read any website on the internet. Maybe a few years before that.
It’s not an internet thing, or even a technology thing. This is an example of the general debasement of society wrought through half a century of rampant sociopathic neoliberal shitfuckery.
One place I’d like to see this start to be corrected, is treating what is currently understood to be intellectual property as the intrinsically abundant resource it is, instead of the artificially scarce, zero-sum concept it’s currently encrusted as.
Okay...okay. You were making sense until you were tossing around the label salad a bit much. Someone needs to go outside and get some fresh air I think.
Looking back now there were some signs but boy that escalated quickly
To me, the Internet died a little before 2012. Some may say 2009, others say 2007. But I say it started to die since 2012, it's just been a steady process and now we've been seeing the rapidness catch up within the past 9 years.
It's not a guess anymore as to how many corps, companies and zealot individuals want to take control of the internet for their own gain.
2012 does indeed still feel like a major inflection point.
The Mayans predicted the end of the world in 2012. Really, it was the end of the expected simulation that we're all living in. Now that we're past that year, stacks are overflowing and the simulation is encountering unexpected results outside the boundaries of the programmers' intents. That's why everything is fucked.
