The evolution you described happened only because the internet is freely accessible to anyone, anywhere, except if you're a communist. Reverting it back to some state you deem worthy is saying the internet was broken. Trying to nudge the Web into some direction you like is exactly the thing that will destroy the Web.

If you don't like subreddits, twitter, or the mass produced crap - avoid it and focus on what you like. The early internet stuff has not been banned and banished. Some if it has been forgotten, maybe, but nobody is going to go through the trouble of keeping a VHS store just to tickle your nostalgia.

I still can find a community to play Re-Volt with. That is only possible because of the internet and the way it is.
