Corporations and commercial interests taking over the internet is inevitable. the only free corners left are the darknets with tor/i2p. but because the normies can't bother use that isn't falshy and trendy, there might not be any other chance to replace this decrepit boring dystopia.
I'm still glad for online ordering, wikipedia, small digital communities, youtube, email, and lots of stuff.
The rest of it is inevitable. And it requires being able to put down the phone and step away from the keyboard.
That is what we need to be able to do.
Move away from the shiny rectangle for a bit for eye contact socializing, too.
