"What would the internet of people look like now?"

"Maybe we just ditch the algorithms."

Yeah, people have been complaining about how much shit the newfangled Web 3.0 sucks, but as it turns out, Web 2.0 has sucked quite a bit of shit, too, and it's only getting worse. Like... there's a certain... let's say... enshittification... about the whole thing.

I definitely wouldn't mind a return to the days of, like, Usenet (or newsgroups or whatever you want to call them) and stuff like that. Seriously, stuff like Reddit or whatever is basically little more than just way shittier versions of Usenet. And remember forums (or message boards or whatever you want to call them)? Can we bring back forums, too? Or, you know, something like those things, without all the extraneous, superfluous dogshit that has become associated with Web 2.0 (and especially without the fetid diarrhea that is associated with Web 3.0)?

Sure, I'll wait for someone to get right on that. And then I'll wait for the inevitable enshittification of all of that, too. ¬_¬

I dream of returning to the days of Usenet and forums, even though I only started using the internet around 2013 when those days were already gone. Having organic, user-produced answers to questions be the dominant form of search results would be a godsend.
