The internet is dead

The dead internet theory posits that a significant portion of online activity is artificially generated, suggesting that the internet as a vibrant, user-driven medium has fundamentally deteriorated. Proponents argue that much of what users encounter today—social interactions, content and even entire online communities—are fabricated or maintained by algorithms and bots rather than genuine human engagement.

This theory raises profound questions about the authenticity of digital interactions and challenges the perception of a dynamic, participatory web, insinuating instead that we are navigating a hollowed-out version, dominated by automated systems and corporate interests. As we grapple with this unsettling perspective, the implications resonate through issues of trust, creativity, and the very essence of what it means to be connected in the modern age.

Thank you AI for writing half of this blog. I just want to say that I don’t even know what the point is in having a website anymore. This “internet” place is a ghost town. I spent years of my life building my image, brand, and empire… Just to watch AI take everything over and make this place completely irrelevant. I never wanted to make my real blog a subscription, but I had no choice. If I am going to survive in this desert, I need my platform to be like everyone elses. Why? Because the internet is a scam. Stop investing your time, energy, and life into it.
