    The internet is what you make it. I've never spent much time on overtly corporate media social or otherwise. Combined with largely avoiding the most politically toxic places both maga or ML.

    Most of my time online is spent visiting places focused on retro Computing, Retro Gaming, music or some other hobbies. The internet hasn't changed drastically in 30 years. Just the way average people use it.

    The corporate sites will never respect your time or privacy. They're just endless treadmills to keep you busy and engaged. We've always been able to hop off.

      Yeah definitely. I just heee to disable social media and anything that’s based on addictive behavior, algorithmic feed etc. and I automatically start doing more interesting things online, such as read Wikis of subjects I like, play with programming etc.

        While I agree with the sentiment of your post - you can tweak your own Internet usage and you should - this part is just ridiculously untrue:

        The internet hasn't changed drastically in 30 years.

        In the last 30 years, we saw coming of google, facebook, amazon and others as a major forces on the Internet, deploying Skinner boxes for billions of people and shaping what internet is to vast majority of users...

          Those are services etc on the internet. Not the internet itself.

            Is eating it a service of mashed potatoes too? Or is that question just a service that you can answer using your service oriented architecture and reply how things can comprise of anything at all other than what it does?
