tehmics@lemmy.world 5 days agoThe Internet is a big place with plenty of value in it still. If all you do is scroll the big 5 brainrot sites, then yeah you’re probably not going to find a ton of enrichment, but that doesn’t mean ‘Internet bad’. That’s almost like saying ‘food is bad for you’

I didn’t say “Internet bad” and I didn’t say not to use it at all. I said to use it less, with the implication being to cultivate a life outside of it too, too many people just use the Internet as much as possible and they put up with whatever shit gets thrown at them to keep using it. Like, I’m in the UK so I’m getting hit full-force with this ID shit and I’ve just decided that - as far as I possibly can - if a site needs to see my ID to access it maybe I just don’t need that site. I’m not showing my ID, I’m not using any of the clever tricks people have come up with to get around it, I’m not using a VPN to get around it, I just won’t use that site, and if that leads me to spending less time online then so be it. And if we could all make that decision then things might pick up a lot faster
