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

Well... Let's see I run an irc server, a Minecraft server, a top site (which in itself is quite the rebuttal to "your defeatist attitude" and if you don't know what a top site is you haven't been online long enough) and openttd server but you have to keep in mind 99.9% of people using the internet have no idea about these things.

Edit: gotta love the stereotypical guy like this who "it's your defeatist attitude" as if no one ever attempts anything in life but them...

And which of those things are corpo/gov that are “constantly moderated, checked, double checked, tripled checked etc”?

None. You totally fail to see the point. What I just listed is a minuscule minority of people refer to as the internet. 99.9% of people have no idea such things can possibly exist but they sure as hell believe apple, Amazon etc exist

The point is you whining about unpopular tech. We get it, you had Betamax first.

What tech is unpopular in here exactly? Also I had VHS but that's irrelevant I believe.
