The "internet" died long ago.

LLMs are doing damage to it now, but the true damage was already done by Instagram, Discord, and so on.

Creating open forums and public squares for discussion and healthy communities is fun and good for the internet, but it's not profitable.

Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, etc, all these closed gardens that input user content and output ads, those are wildly profitable. Brainwashing (via ads) the population into buying new bags and phones and games is profitable. Creating communities is not.

Ads and modern social media killed the old internet.
