Right. “[H]undreds of millions of [really really stupid] people” who don’t habve the cognitive capacity to do anything useful with the information but conspiracy theorize.
Where is all the miraculous positive benefit to society of this magical tool designed by billionaires to sell you shit you don’t need?
If it’s doing all this good … where is the good? All it’s done is concentrate power. And you continue to aid and abet it.
Bravo.
It was a good idea. Then the billionaires hijacked it for their own purposes. Now, we live in reality and you sound like a naive 3rd grader who believes all the pap propaganda you’re fed.
I don’t have time to fully respond to this right now, but I just wanted to say that I do understand and sympathize with the things you’re bringing up here. I was hoping to engage with you politely, and my feelings are hurt by your insults, but I understand your anger. When I said I look forward to your counterargument, I meant that earnestly and respectfully. I’m sorry for upsetting you with my reply - I was hoping to lend an angle of positivity to you that you may not have considered, not discount your own view.
You seem to think that internet = web. And even then web = social networks.
That’s a very dwindled take on the whole thing. Your takes are entirely correct on social networks and maybe search engines (when they stopped being actual search engines) too, but that’s such a subset of Internet as a whole.
It’s all incessantly trying brain wash you into buying things you don’t need. That is it’s entire mission. All screens are billionaire controlled, to brainwash you into making decisions you wouldn’t ordinarily make, while siumultaeously harvesting your info so they can better refine the brainwashing.

What a great (w)hole.
Okay, you know the fediverse, chat messaging services including signal or matrix, IRC… Are all part of the internet?
Again, you are reducing it by a lot. You are wrong.
And the platforms they sit atop are all owned by billionaires. So naive.
The fediverse is owned by millionaires??? What the fuck dude, I’m done.
