The internet is worse than it used to be. How did we get here, and can we go back?

Usenet was the best.
Still is π
I don't really know. For text based discussion, I prefer something like Lemmy, also due to better moderation tools etc. It's a cool early thread-based discussion tool, but mostly outdated.
Unfortunately, there is absolutely zero other use for it, and nobody should ever bother, it's wasted time.
πthere are now binary files to be found there as well π
No, there is nothing, and any investigation by copyright holders wouldn't lead to anything. Trying to get anything out of usenet today is futile.
