I used to have the OPs experience and found the web equally as toxic.

It all got too much for me during Covid times however, and I did a huge detox and cleanse of my online content. I left LinkedIn which was my main source of my angst, blocked the news sites at the router and unfollowed thousands of accounts. I also installed a bunch of adblockers.

The habits have stuck for the most part, and life online feels so much lighter.

It's sad though to think of what fraction of people out there on the web are unable to jury-rig their network to block the toxins.
