This probably speaks more about the observer than you would think.

I never "made friends" online. Forums used to be horrifically toxic places. I've mostly steered clear of dumb short form content. Anyone who has a fond memory of the old internet doesn't remember what searching for song lyrics was like.

Yeah, "the internet" is boring and lame, but our generation is also vapid and performative. And it's bled well past the internet. Buying books as decorations. Restaurants designed for photos over taste. Showers and parties for every occasion.
