It's not this.
The trouble is centralization.
The trouble is that Amazon AWS and Cloudflare practically control the Internet "pipes" and mostly everything goes thru' these giants and they can censor/block anything they like.
The trouble is that Google can cut your Gmail account and ruin your entire digital AND IRL life with no accountability.
The trouble is that Tiktok has 80% or more market share with the new generation and its algos are controlled basically by China. China shows productive and educational content on tiktok in China and bullshit, memes and dumb content to the Western world.
The trouble is Microsoft, Apple, Adobe, Oracle, etc. have monopolies on platforms and are showing increasingly anti-user behaviour and dark patterns, etc.
The trouble is regular folk have no clue how the internet works and don't care so nobody is doing shit to change the status quo.
Effectively probably 10% of users know actually how the cookies are made and complain in online bubbles to each other while 90% of users just consume with no fucks given.
Yes, the internet - the last frontier of free thought - will be dead soon enough at this rate...
