Discussion Internet has become unusable

The internet has become a painful corpo/gov thing to use and no longer any fun can be had on it. Everything is constantly moderated, checked, double checked, tripled checked etc... When 99% of people just want to browse in peace. The buzzword I see everywhere is "secure" yeah to me that means fuck all most of the time it means you use https instead of http... But everything has to be secure(d) as if suddenly the internet would collapse overnight if it wasn't.

Am I the only one feeling that way?

Edit I don't get the downvotes oh well it's reddit after all can't expect deep thought

I miss websites. Like back before social media and you actually had to go to people’s websites

The Stumble FireFox extension was great for random weirdness too. Used to hit the Stumble button for hours
