>>105771350This is a pretty limited and flawed understanding of what the internet "was" and "was meant to be"
You're basically just describing what "I and people like me used it for" and not its actual intended purpose, communications between governing bodies. "Your" internet was just a byproduct of that that certain companies took advantage of in marketing when it became public.
In actual real life, the internet was always, from day 1, designed to be one thing and destined to be another: designed to be purely for use by academies, universities, and military installations; destined to be a replacement for the modern telephone.
And guess what, it ended up serving both purposes in turn. You wouldn't need to be fucking psychic to predict that outcome.
You're always free and welcome to pop back into some random forum or IRC and chat about bullshit, there are plenty of those that still exist. You never have to use your real name to post anywhere about anything if you don't want to. This continued complaint comes from the perspective of someone that is too fucking lazy to bother and wishes things were "simple like they used to be"
Do you want my advice? The current residents of that "simple internet", which still exists, don't want worthless complainers like you around anyway. You're a fucking bore.
