    The internet has been dying and changing for the worst for a long time.

    Websites trying to be a one stop all on one site that keeps you there are 90% of web traffic these days.

    Having multiple bookmarks for multiple sites for individual reasons are the small user basis.

    Sites like Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, tik tok and YouTube etc are the majority of web useage. Gone are the days of forums for bespoke interests.

    Discord as a closed ecosystem with none threaded or web searchable topics.

    Ad ladden shit hole news sites. Click bait shite etc are the norm.

    Gone are the days of enjoyabls fun to explore web surfing.
