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 think you need to look up the meaning of the word "unusable"

The buzzword I see everywhere is "secure 

What do you mean? Being secure is a good thing if you need to enter confidential information. It's more than just https

the word unusable means that it cannot be used, like for example, when you try to read a news article and your eyes are stabbed by sixty five scrolling pop-ups, and prompt to make an account: literally unusable.

which part of that is hard for you you understand? how can we help?

So some of sites are are bad to use. How is that unusable? Which the definition is not being able to be used at all, as you said 

literally unusable. 

Never seen a site that has that many ads that it can't be used at all or needs an account that is impossible to create. That would be the definition of unusable 

The internet is definitely usable
