The World Wide Web sucks now
It’s like walking down the street needing to hear every contradiction stemming from lack of self awareness. Not even ten years ago the mass majority of people online weren’t projecting their insecurities every opportunity, now that’s all I ever see.

There’s probably some smarter people still active but the constant redirection of “you’re wrong I’m right” or “well yes but actually no” darkens the water for everyone.

Just as a little sugar coating on top, being factual now is actually being rude.

And in these steam threads rarely do you see a 40/50 plus comment topic without a hijacker or just someone who NEEDS to be heard. And the endless piggybacking is so childish.

I’m embarrassed for all of us.

20 years ago, it was slurs.
10 years ago, it was extreme censorship.

The internet has never been for intelligent discourse.

And just like in real life, you could just... not engage?

pulling a “well yes but actually no” on me already. Kinda funny but not really.
If everyone was to just ignore a hijacker the discussion would die with little sprinkles of that person striving for validity. Not a very good look for someone seeking an answer.

I think too many people have gotten used to the Internet as their "safe space" the real world has no report button or mute feature you need to grow thicker skin. Also the Internet seriously enabled child predators

Oh hey, less comfortable version of me. How are we feeling today? Woke up on the wrong side of the bed again? Damn those pillows.

Hey, if you need a hug, I'm here for myself, k.

"America Online" ruined the internet because it allowed normal people to flood it and change it into the beast it is today.

It started when search engines began to employ algorithms to tell you what you wanted to find, and not vice versa. Then a very small group of corporate interests starting buying up nearly every platform and consolidate control.

humanity has been doing the “you’re wrong I’m right” thing since we were cavemen and its how any conflict starts, its not an internet thing

Mildly concerning. Extremely uncomfortable.
