    The internet was great when it was just those folks who could handle it - I’d argue that it wasn’t corporations (though those didn’t help) but absolutely everyone getting online that’s made the space so much more toxic.

      What you’re describing is called “adverse selection.” But it doesn’t apply here.

      The internet was ruined by old fashioned greed- courtesy of said Corporates who monetized every interaction as a result of their control of two-sided networks.

      Thanks business school!
