I used to like the internet.  It was fun. It was informative. Now it seems to be mostly an torturously ad-riddled, hate filled, misinformation hellscape rife with trolls, bigots and hate-filled abusers.

Don’t get me wrong, there were always trolls. Trolls on computers predate common acceptance of the internet by about a decade. But it so much worse now. When people started carrying computers in their pockets and almost everyone was on the internet, the information highway became filled with the worst people drivers.

I try to curate a good internet experience for myself, but it just seems less worth it every day. The major platforms are owned by horrible people who the more you investigate them the scarier it all gets. I just kinda don’t wanna anymore with it all.

I will still use the internet to look stuff up, shop here and there, and keep in touch with friends, but it’s all losing it’s joy and is feeling like a chore.

And the irony of posting this on the internet and adding to the noise is not lost on me.
