we fumbled the internet. we screwed it.

The open web failed because we all settled for corporate control. It's actually kind of depressing how the internet evolved. We had this incredible, open platform—a free, decentralized library of human knowledge—and we voluntarily handed it over to five giant companies whose only goal is to maximize ad revenue and keep us arguing. Now, finding real information is impossible because every search result is SEO sludge, and original thought is buried under video content and bad AI-generated text. It feels like the biggest potential of our generation was completely wasted because we preferred convenience over genuine value. #Millennials #DigitalCulture #LostInternet #InternetCulture
