> Surveillance capitalists have built a truly miserable internet.

The way I saw it put recently: the internet used to be a library and now it's a store.

I’d be very satisfied with a store. It’s more like a bazaar where half the patrons are pickpockets and half the stalls are selling counterfeit stuff that will harm you. And there are no police to protect you from any of that (though you do get temporarily ejected if you say words that aren’t allowed, like “kill” or “rape” - in any context including honest reporting).
