    Maybe the younger ones still elastic brains were just too vulnerable

    E: Usenet, irc, forums etc were like an early training ground hardening us against the purveyors of bullshit. When bullshit became the business of billionaire corporations online we were ready for it. They never had a chance...

    I think there is a lot to this. One of the big divides I've noticed is that these younger zoomers seems to conflate what is socially acceptable with what is advertiser-friendly, and I have to assume a lot of that comes from growing up in these heavily corporate-controlled spaces in comparison to the "wild west" of the internet that raised us.
