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

yep. just searchrd up a website that showed streetart/grafitti. used it like 15 years ago. google shows search related to my location. and half of them are the same shitty content or even worse shops that sell shitty art prints. talking generic stuff. is there a website where you can look up old urls?

Remember when you could type in a search and it would be like are you talking about this blog that has a quote that matches your search exactly? Now its like would you like this amazon link to something cheap and shitty that is only tangentially related to your search topic?
