This whole thread from @lori has made me think of the #GenerationalGap between people who were online in 2010 and those who began in 2016 or around...
I was taught to take most things in the internet with a healthy dose of salt, to be wary of anything that seemed too good to be truth, to be able to do basic research, etc.
Now we've got outrage culture as the main modus operandi, crypto and tech bros, and a chronic inability to go outside the same 4 or 5 websites...
I mean, the internet wasn't perfect by any means. However, it wasn't geared towards the lowest common denominator. The level of ‘Bad’ was more or less the same, but the default was better.
