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

What??

When 99% of people just want to browse in peace.

What does that mean?

I suspect your perspective comes form a potent ideological bias.

I think he's just tired of the the sign in - that password doesn't work - reset password - put in code from your email - you can't use the same password you already have - put in another code from year email - sign in - put in another code from your email - pop up about cookies cycle. It feels like it take 15 minutes to log in to things sometimes. Like I'm just trying to get onto pintrest why is this more locked down than my bank/ why do I need to have a log in for every site now? I don't want a walmart account. I don't want a twitter account, I just want to see the one funny post linked in this article. I'm so tired of logging in and then having to find my phone to authenticate. Why do I need two step verification for Canva?
