alt Hacker NewsNo, one does NOT need to just accept that doomer view.
And one can work against the bad stuff and for good stuff on the Net. I have been doing so since the late 80s since before most of the current shiny existed. I ran an ISP in the 90s. A typical user has thousands to millions of times the bandwidth and choice of content compared to then.
this is not doomer view, are you understand that there are entire generation of people that don't use browser at all????
they use only smartphone in their life and mobile apps for everything, Yes they use social media like tiktok,instagram etc never bother to use "open web" that live in browser
You can disagree but there are tons of people live in this walled garden
