While there are still cool places to explore in the internet, yeah, it sucks that people help to spread the same tending things. I think platforms like Meta, Google, etc. are the culprit. They hook people into their so-called ecosystems and people just can't see the cage they are inviting others to inhabitate.

BTW, do people still meet online and get married from random chats?
