Kinda sad to think about, the internet as we know it is sorta on life support. We’re like steps away from blending our personal life with our work life. Shit’s terrifying

I’m probably just talking consequences of enshitification. But it’s so wild that it’ll get worse agony-shivering

That’s actually a super great perspective that shows how fucking privileged I am. I know a lot of leftists talk about the effects of economic collapse the way economists try to predict economic collapses ya ya but it’s going to be one of those things that hits suddenly and hits hard.

Though it is very possible it’s held off in my lifetime and we continue to maintain the boom bust cycle with far fewer booms. Also, I think there are going to be industries designed to keep the internet on life support. It’s almost completely invaluable at this point considering how the world is so connected
