I hate the Internet now, how everyone is constantly on the Internet now, and how some smug corporate suit in Silicon Valley can just spy on you and do whatever they want with their apps because everyone uses them, and everyone is too lazy to leave them. I've gone on several long-winded doomer rants to close loved ones about the fear I have for the future and the psychological effect the Internet can have on people, how it has "bled into reality" so to speak, and the fact that a lot of personality traits that arise from phone dependency have ruined a lot of my friendships with others. This is the only website I am an active poster on anymore. I use others privately, but these are mainly for logging games/movies/anime. I became particular about choosing websites with little to no social media elements and that aren't bogged down with Javascript/optimized for phones. I've used a computer ever since I was like 5 years old, so it's beyond disheartening to me that this whole other world which meant so much to me, which I could escape to when my mom kept me from making real life friends, is now a barren, corporate wasteland.
