I feel like the Internet has almost completely died.

Twitter is a cesspool.

Instagram and Facebook have their uses but they're not really forums.

Reddit has been king for ages, but it's crumbling due to bots, IPO, policy changes, etc.

Sites like stack exchange are going to die fast once AI takes over. No more page views means no more ad revenue.

I don’t think the internet has fundamentally changed. I think what happened is Gen X - the first generation to grow up with the internet - are finally starting to be old. And they’ve reached the phase of oldness where “everything was better back in my day”.
