Yeah, now you get mean people, a drive-by malware installer, AI generated ads, and 4mb of JS that tries to scrape every detail about you so they can make a profile they can sell to (dis)information brokers.

Truly, an improvement.

(People have always sucked, the Internet just lets you interact with more people so…)
