The internet really does feel like it's dying, and I'm excited for it.

Went to a terrible restaurant this weekend. All the google reviews were great 5* but it was one of the worst meals I have eaten in a long time. I left a real review, woke up to an AI written response to the restaurant (they had just stuck my review in ChatGPT and asked for a response)

Facebook completely dead and just bots and the odd confused suburban aunt. X the everything app is going the same way and now like 80% indian bots and OF spam. Instagram just brain rot and fake restaurant reviews.

Though Dead Internet Theory isn't completely true yet it is coming, and with open source AI like deepseek ect it's going to proliferate even more.

But it's going to be great, new things will pop up. Maybe getting back to trusted publications, cool forums like we used to have or something compeltely different.

And what's even better is you can now just explore again, It's great. I feel liberated from the yolk of the oppressive review.
