That’s not a problem that generalizes to the broader population. We don’t really need internet.

I disagree.

People have a need to be heard and understood. That’s half of what we are doing here posting.

Many (“not disabled”) people don’t fit in with their local peer group / society. The internet gave them a way to connect with other like-minded individuals.

Do I need to give examples? Let’s say: struggling with a rare disease.

In other words "disabled people can suck it, because I don't care about their lives or experiences"?

We often fall short, but as a society we do try to make sure we're accommodating disabled people when we make big changes in our systems.
