Amazing how in less than the span of my 31 year lifetime the internet turned from absolutely world-changing great and probably directly or indirectly the most fun and useful tool humans can play around with to not-yet-unusable-but-definitely-closing-in slop where you can’t spend an hour without getting mad at some system working against us.

Edit: I hate ending on a dismal note, so let me remind everyone that the “small web” (human-created blogs made with nothing but passion for their craft) exists, even if it’s harder to find. Similarly, for most enshittified websites like YouTube, there’s an alternative to the enshittification (even if it’s just getting something like Grayjay to circumvent the crap on YT)
