bc86s: A frame capture of Teru from a comic by BC86S (Default)
Today's internet has gone the way of newspapers and radio: dead mediums that once had something, but died of ads and religion. Dead mediums could be brought back if they had something, but the bourgeois class always does this. The tracks show the same pattern as before: A medium of expression that once had things that resonated with people is turned into spammy mcspam, rendered useless by advertising, and is abandoned for the bigots to spread their ugly religion.

Advertising is what capitalist death smells like. Everything they touch turns to ads, religion, and finally dies.

That is the way the internet is going. We used to hope it would replace the bourgeois mass media, because it was empowering. The internet today isn't even called an internet anymore. It's referred to as some sort of cable box with a few channels called "social networks" ... The bourgeois class bought it all out. Google and others changed their search engines so that only a few websites ever show up in a search. It is becoming entirely ads and misinformation. A diseased mass of damned lies.

This time, there's nothing to replace the internet. No new medium to migrate to. And, this has been the story of our time. Of migrating away from ruined platforms. We spend maybe no more than several years on a platform, it gets popular, the advertisers track us down and we have to move to some place less popular where the imbeciles can't find us.

I hear the Marxists over at the RCA have revived newspapers, and even let working class people write articles in it.
