The Internet feels empty and devoid of people. It is also devoid of content. Compared to the Internet of say 2007 (and beyond) the Internet of today is entirely sterile.

I post to daily play by play post Pathfinder game on paizo.com. I'm pretty sure my players are real. If not, AI is already way what's bee advertised.

I interact regularly with people FB, before Covid, I hosted stuff on meetup.com and I'll be back doing that soon. All of my various, current circles of friends were met using some Internet elements (whether FB or seeing a local ad, etc).

In 2007, the Internet was an edgy hobby for me, now it's just the medium. It seems like the poster is upset that "ordinary" people do ordinary things on the Internet.
