Is the Internet dead?

So while this is an interesting hypothesis, not theory!
I would agree its too flattered by a longing for nostalgia it might even be a certain version of the
Appeal to tradition (also known as argumentum ad antiquitatem or argumentum ad antiquitam,[1] appeal to antiquity, or appeal to common practice) is an argument in which a thesis is deemed correct on the basis of correlation with past or present tradition. The appeal takes the form of "this is right because we've always done it this way.

An appeal to tradition essentially makes two assumptions that are not necessarily true:
The old way of thinking was proven correct when introduced, i.e. since the old way of thinking was prevalent, it was necessarily correct. In reality, this may be false—the tradition might be entirely based on incorrect grounds.
The past justifications for the tradition are still valid. In reality, the circumstances may have changed; this assumption may also, therefore, have become untrue.

It is true that there is merit to the internet being oversaturated with bots and echoes chambers. However, it really depends on what you are looking for and where you are living online. It would be wrong to throw the baby out with the bathwater per se. We do exist in places like this blog and other random websites and communities, we're not bots. I think painting the Internet as dead in broad strokes is like gaslighting those who are actively trying to provide good information and content.


What are your thoughts? ( no bots please haha)
