@matrix because we allowed proprietary software to get a foothold, software that did not respect users freedoms, and condoned normies using it
@matrix Any new frontier will inevitably become corporatised if there's money to be made. As soon as user generated content became a thing that broke into the mainstream consciousness corporations would inevitably want a piece of the action and governments would want to regulate it. They want the Internet to be like radio and TV; under strict control, family friendly, clean, safe, unthreatening, covered with advertisements and locked behind a tiered paywall system.
@matrix while normies do ruin everything, the elite were determined to turn the internet into the new cable television anyways. Alot of the ruination of the free speech and wild west days of the internet was because of the elite, not just the normies who just went along with it. So it's a combination of the two. |
