Unrelated thoughts on the Internet.. First up, it feels really spammy these days. Miss the times when social media was breath of fresh air, with thought-out content. The Internet “high” of the 2010s has ended. We’ve entered the addiction phase.

There’s less incentive to develop cool platforms. Many CS majors go in it for the money (RIP). Less people seem to be genuinely excited about web development.

Maybe I’m too critical but these are just my two cents.

It also feels sad that having a digital footprint is often considered “unprofessional” or cringy. We should treat social media as an opportunity to develop a “good” footprint. Sharing is a very human instinct.

And the attention economy has made the social media market reach a point of complete producer surplus. Now that everyone’s already on social media, we’re at the point where companies extract the maximum amount of profit from each user.

The Internet’s just been so overcommercialized… In the early days, it was a way to explore and meet new people. You could sense that there was another human being on the other screen.

Now, it’s a superficial extension of daily life. People follow others they know. There’s not as much spantaneity left on platforms. Celebrities will have entire teams or planned-out campaigns. Might as well be a billboard :(
