    Youth? I'm in my 40's. The internet being on a downward quality trend isn't to do with age of the perceiver.

    We're on Lemmy. 90% of this place's users are hee because of objectively factual enshitification of one service. I can list many, many more.

      Eh, certainly a lot of big sites are shitting their pants right now, but I don't think the internet as a whole is doing that bad. It's really the consolidation of internet communities in the 2010s that lead us to this point, now we've learned a hard lesson. Even as things fall apart, FOSS thrives in their wake. We're in a pretty sucky transition period, but I think the internet will be fine in the long run.
