    On the other hand, the eternal September effect from smartphones ruined the internet. What will this ruin?

      I’d be interested in an internet that is harder to access just to out a barrier to entry.

      But the only one I know is TOR. Do they have any discussions on there or is it just crime?

        Before smartphones people had to want to “go on the internet”, and know how to use a web browser. Now many people only know how to access “the internet” through “apps” to corporate controlled walled gardens like facebook, tiktok, etc.

          I know what Eternal September is, but how have mobile phones “ruined” the internet? I’d attribute whatever ruin is observed to financial greed not mobile phones.

          Again, how have mobile phones specifically “ruined the internet”?

            Fair enough. Seems I didn’t get what either of you said. Eternal September is a specific term for some event that predated smartphones. I’d guess this is about some parallels, but idk. I can tell you how AI has already started to flood the internet with noise. And it’s likely this will become worse. But none of that is related to smartphones.
