No, one does NOT need to just accept that doomer view.

And one can work against the bad stuff and for good stuff on the Net. I have been doing so since the late 80s since before most of the current shiny existed. I ran an ISP in the 90s. A typical user has thousands to millions of times the bandwidth and choice of content compared to then.

this is not doomer view, are you understand that there are entire generation of people that don't use browser at all????

they use only smartphone in their life and mobile apps for everything, Yes they use social media like tiktok,instagram etc never bother to use "open web" that live in browser

You can disagree but there are tons of people live in this walled garden

I use the 'open Web' on my phone and basically no apps (I side-load some for testing): I don't even have a sign-in for the apps store. And we had worse walled gardens before - I created an early ISP in the UK to help get people over the walls then. So it's all still there if they want it. And my tenn children use it - so which generation did you have in mind?
so you saying this generation didn't exist???

or you just ignore the fact that people don't give a fuck about web anymore

or are you saying that you are majority here??? because its clearly delusional

1) Please don't be so rude or attack me.

2) You said "entire generation of people [that] don't use browser at all": I only need to find one counter-example to falsify your sweeping claim. It's bad hype. Please try nuance.

because its clearly so out of touch and delusional

just research any asian country and it would tell you otherwise

Please stop making personal attacks, and also please stop making unsupportable sweeping generalisations.
