The internet used to be a place you would go to ESCAPE the outside world, it was insular. Online and offline exists in their own spaces. These days you CAN'T escape the outside world on the internet, or the internet on the outside world.
It was nicer in the olden days because it was easy to find like minded people, who were generally more intelligent and shared your interests, since a particular type of person used the internet and got through the initial effort to figure it out.
That's not the case now.
It's already been said a billion times, and is trite at this point, but the hyper consolidation of websites and communities in things like Reddit is a nightmare. There is no more community, beyond a small handful of forums for more niche enthusiasts that is still gate kept.
Indians are a literal fucking plague on the internet now too. Every other comment is from an Indian. Google something? One of the top results is likely "x in hindi."
Truly tiresome.
