Knowledge is not proliferating faster than ever. It's being gobbled up and locked down by companies whose sole interest is making as much money as they can instead of improving the world and profiting from the improvement.

Media is being deleted or locked in vaults.

Games are being shut down with no way to restore them.

The written word that has been vetted by people with domain specific knowledge is being locked behind paywalls and not being advertised, while AI machines directly lie to the curious and the seekers of knowledge.

I can throw a digital stone in any direction and hit something that is worse off thanks to the modern internet.
