Whatever you call it, the Internet is changing and enshitifying. For many it’s the death of what it was. The new restrictions and push for chat control/censorship.
AI may just be a tool. And people may be over reacting. But it’s inarguable it’s being overwhelming leveraged by abject evil.
The internet, in its various forms, has died several times now, and it will die and be replaced with something else probably uncountable times in the future.
All true, but also all the more reason to acknowledge what we’ve lost. With an eye to the future to make sure that the enshitified centralized internet is one of them.
I don’t really see the inevitable passing of this internet as a sad thing, really. each time the internet has died, it has been replaced by something a little better. with how bad this one has gotten, with a whole laundry list of enshitification from constant tracking to intrusive and malicious advertisements, I think it’s far past time for the internet to die again and give us something fresh.
