Comment on The internet has become soulless and i hate it

Adblocker do great job at filtering out the majority of ads. Resign from social sites (or their parts) that drown in toxicity (anything dealing with “news” is usually the 1st place to avoid) and it’s going to improve your online experience.

I still say the internet is both the greatest and worst invention of all time.

I’d argue that there are better contenders, but this is a discussion for entirely different community. 😜

Oh believe me, I’ve been running UBlock Origin for a long time. When I use a computer without it, I’m just amazed at the amount of ads nowadays

Oh of course, little bit of hyperbole in my statement, but I definitely believe the internet has been a gift and a curse for society.

Yeah, I was born in the early 80s and grew up watching the internet grow, so I know how to navigate for the best experience for me. But I don’t think it can be denied that the vast majority of people don’t and fall right into the toxicity most of the time. And the effect it’s had on sociaty is hard to ignore.

  So that’d be the gist of it, and the suggestion to everyone who perceives the Internet as a souless place: “learn how to use the tool that is the Internet correctly, so it won’t misfire on you”. I don’t think there’s any flaw in this approach.

    I agree there’s no flaw in the approach but like anything most people won’t learn. People can’t be bothered by and large.
