The internet. I remember the internet being less commercialized… I used to read up on PC games or post on forums. Now I go outside and walk or focus on hobbies that disconnect me from my PC or phone.
It’ like that with almost anything nowadays too. In the last couple of decades, it’s seems like every public corporation has pivoted from decisions primarily based on customer value, to primarily shareholder value.
I hate the way that all the user content has moved from personal sites to social media. I miss all the random fan sites dedicated to Z list celebrities. There’s like 10 companies that just run the internet now.
Also, all the tracking. I just want to browse the internet, I’ll look at your stupid adverts, just stop tracking me.

You aren’t disliking the internet because you get older. You dislike it because it is taken over by enshittifying corporations.
At least it’s like that for me.

That is part of my dislike of the internet, I agree.

I personally find social media to be our biggest problem.
