Not a millennial but I will always argue that the modern internet is inherently worse for people than the internet even of 15 years ago.

Gen-x, as is their nature, simultaneously doesn’t care and complains endlessly about everything equally, even the stuff they like, especially the stuff they like.

I want to live in a world where people blame geocities and angelfire instead of alphabet and meta for destroying the internet and spreading misinformation

The internet objectively sucked back then too. But it seemed cool, because it was new and exciting and all the millennials that are nostalgic for it were young teens at the time.
