    Internet is dead, and greed killed it.

      Are you operating with the assumption that the internet offered to the general public was not created with financial gain at its core?

      you said it. i was thinking about thi yesterday.. 2008-2010 were perfection in terms of technology. we had everything we needed and needed nothing more.. everything since then has been coorperate greed.. "here is a bigger phone", "here is short form brain rot content", "heres more streaming and more social media"

    The term NPC comes from tabletop games like D&D originally. It's not really important, and there is no doubt that more people know the term from video games. Just figured it was worth mentioning. Cheers.

      I blame the centralised power that driven world events for 100s of years. They centralised and sanitised it like they have done to every single thing that threatens them.

    Idk, imo the internet dying because of unchecked greed and short sightedness seems even worse than being intentional.

    I just came across the "dead internet theory" and your channel today, but it is crazy how much this correlates to my own observations.
    Last week I wrote down some points of why to quit / heavily reduce social media useage and one of it's points was how terrible the sugestions algorithm and the quality of the content has gotten.
    The suggestions algorithm sees that you search one popular topic and bombards you with videos that are with the exact same topic over and over again. There is nothing new to be gained and it is all very surface level, leading to the decrease of quality.
    Concrete example: I like game of thrones. I hated how the show ended. I looked up a video about it and get recommendations for 5 more. After watching most of them I feel like I wasted my time, because few of them went into detail and about 90% of their content matched.
    I would have expected hours long videos to go give a detailed analysis and NOT one of them did. None of them compared the shows scenes and character development to the book (eventhough they arent finished, comparisons could be made). And none of them even compared the characters from the show (with fitting scenes) to what they have become.
    They where basically just reactions with flashy videos.
    And just like that I have contributed to the algorithms sorting of video content and it happily does the same to the next person, without any regard for how this made me feel, or how they will feel.
    The internet for me had the benefits of:
    - finding horizont broadening content about views I could not have had by myself (== getting input by other humans).
    - having a "virtual classroom" of information for whatever topic interested me (== someone else -the creator/teacher- put in the legwork and i can just watch and pick and choose what I like)
    Both of those are gone now by having to adjust to the algorithms for profit and therefore dumming down of content (bot or human doesn't matter at this point).

    It's like bots are also the ones spreading the dead internet theory. Which is kinda ironic. It's not the fault of the AI that the internet is dying it's mainly people looking for a quick buck utilizing AI.
