Once teleportation exist, so do replicators and all costs apart from energy costs disappear.

Internet is technically teleportation (of data) and I am not seeing replicators anywhere.

With the interpretation of the internet being teleportation of data, your Webbrowser becomes a replicator of data, as e.g. the video that you are streaming from YouTube is merely being copied from its servers., but not deleted from its source.
In general computers are just copying data, i.e. replicating data.

wait so if data is like dna, does that make computers like plants with their pollen being data packets like memes, articles, and videos… and we’re the pollinators?

Data is copied 100s of times just from a server to your device.
