    “Why the internet isn’t fun anymore” - proceeds to talk about Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok.

    Completely fails to mention any fediverse sites, or any of the millions of other sites out there.

    If you’re the author, the internet isn’t fun anymore because you don’t use it. You visit the corporate websites only. You either never learned how to use the internet, or you’re not interested in actually trying.

    Its like the person who never leaves their neighborhood and complains that life is boring.

      Agreed but isn’t it the experience most people on the Internet currently have?

      Even worse when you realize it’s the job of these journalists to tell people there’s a whole world out there. The general public may not know about this, but if you’re a journalist making these claims, they should know better
