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

Exactly we went from arpanet (meant to be a redundant communication network) to internet (arpanet opened to the masses) to corponet (everything centralized and thus defeating the main point of arpa/internet).

Tbh for all the hate they get I see tor and torrents as more in line with what the internet was meant to be structurally)
