Internet absolutely was better 15 years ago. Everything is paywalled now and there’s constant disinformation. Algorithms feed you bullshit and people all post outrage bait to get attention. Not saying that stuff didn’t exist 15 years ago, but it’s absolutely become the dominant experience online.

Hardware has gotten better though!

You can’t even Google shit anymore, it’s all AI written articles. I used to use Reddit for that with site:reddit.com but I wonder how long we will be able to.

People suggest using other search engines instead like Bing or DuckDuckGo, but the fact that they no longer support the “-” operator in search is annoying.
