Kinda sad to think about, the internet as we know it is sorta on life support. We’re like steps away from blending our personal life with our work life. Shit’s terrifying
I’m probably just talking consequences of enshitification. But it’s so wild that it’ll get worse 
People have been dooming about the end of the internet for 35 years, saying it's equally on life support. This isn't the end.
So then that sounds like it’s getting worse and we have a way to track “worseness” I think by more and more stuff being paywalled
My point is not that it's actually been dying, it's that people have always complained that it's been at an equivalent state of "verge of death" since before it even existed. There were fed weirdoes who thought the merger of ARPANET with NSFNET would destroy both. The internet is in a constant state of change, you could argue that the internet is change. Change often feels like the end of something you use and love.
There will always be niches and there will always be massive platforms trying to edge in on those things. That's literally just how capitalism works. The symptom is not the disease, you have to treat the source of the problem.
That actually super tracks. I hang out with niche groups of people and occupy nice spots online lol until further notice I guess
