Its pretty sad what the internet has become. The benefits of free information exchange, that included people in remote locations, has been destroyed by an explosion of social media misinformation, and now AI.

Agreed Meh. But the Internet has had multiple deaths over time IMO. Once upon a time there was AARNET and FIDONET. Different user bases/demographies, but both very bleeding edge, fun and communal. When I released software, my files would contain my full contact details. I would never do that how (I would not release software now). But back then, I would get letters and emails from all around the world from users using my software, often including a patch for bug fixes or improvements, because most users back then were developers/programmers. That was up until about 2002.
