I think we may have already entered it. Infinite scroll based feeds like TikTok, Instagram, and Threads (and possible Reddit these days) … just AI algorithm deciding what you should find “entertaining” or “important”.

It’s really the ultimate nightmare with the internet becoming just TV 3.0 in which content is controlled and curated … you just consume mindlessly.

Any attempts to create a Reddit clone.. or system in which people freely communicate is now “regulated” for “hate” speech or “terrorism”. The days of open discourse … appear to be numbered. Even email will be analyzed by AI to look for “trends” or “optimize” employee efficiency.

It really is time for a new internet.

I agree with the sentiment, but I disagree with this:

> Any attempts to create a Reddit clone.. or system in which people freely communicate is now “regulated” for “hate” speech or “terrorism”.

The fact is that many “systems in which people freely communicate” are regularly first adopted by people who participate in hate speech and terrorism.
