Oh believe me, I've been running UBlock Origin for a long time. When I use a computer without it, I'm just amazed at the amount of ads nowadays
Oh of course, little bit of hyperbole in my statement, but I definitely believe the internet has been a gift and a curse for society.
Yeah, I was born in the early 80s and grew up watching the internet grow, so I know how to navigate for the best experience for me. But I don't think it can be denied that the vast majority of people don't and fall right into the toxicity most of the time. And the effect it's had on sociaty is hard to ignore.
So that'd be the gist of it, and the suggestion to everyone who perceives the Internet as a souless place: "learn how to use the tool that is the Internet correctly, so it won't misfire on you". I don't think there's any flaw in this approach.
I agree there's no flaw in the approach but like anything most people won't learn. People can't be bothered by and large.
Since I'm even older than you, allow me...
