It's over. The internet culture of the 20th and early 21st century has been appropriated for profit.

No it's not, and no it hasn't. That old Internet is still there, you just stopped going to it.
We built it on enthusiasm for enthusiasts and for that reason alone, it became something great.

Then they stole it all for profit.

Probably not the first time in history this has happened.

The amounts of times someone invented something that was important to them and then never make any money from it only for some other entity to make tons of money from it is way too high.
And hopefully not the last
