Traditional internet is killing itself
Just these monolithic social media companies really. And I don't really consider anything "web 2.0" to be traditional internet. Newgrounds was traditional internet.
And it was dope for little Kalothar
The fediverse came just in time. I wouldn't have even heard about lemmy/kbin or mastodon if reddit hadn't shut down 3rd party apps.
They seem like they're trying to bleed a stone.
They showed they don't have the lobes for business.
Nah, Web 2.0 is killing itself. Turns out dipshit greedy pig boys aren't great at running social platforms
It's bizarre they ever thought they could, the internet is pretty fundamentally socialist in spirit with large chunks of infrastructure being maintained by OSS, the culture being based in flirting with copyright violation and transformative works, and people generally expecting to receive services for free. Information on the internet is intuitively considered the commons by everyone except the people trying to monetize it.
I would say the traditional internet was before the time of corporate ruled media, so in that case I'd say corporate internet is killing itself and and media is going back to traditional, at least with respect to the Fediverse.
