by not conflating "internet" with "social network / doomscrolling".

no, seriously, that's the main thing. nothing about "internet" says you have to let ad-motivated recommendation engines fill your gullet.

let's call it "mindful internet": you deliberately choose what to read, even if that means, gasp, seeking out a few quality sources, checking in with a few worthwhile people. "influencers" are so ick precisely because they are an gross side-effect of doomscrolling.
