You had to work for your series, movies and music. You had to know what you want to obtain it. You weren't force-fed content you never asked for. You really think there's no more good music? There is but being bombarded with the commercial sh*t makes you wary of searching more of it.

You had to work for it to get online and have stuff work, so you'd have to show determination. Which would mean you'd understand the value of access to information and communication. Now you're bombarded with contradictory information pretty much constantly without even asking, accessing info isn't the problem anymore, it becomes an effort to keep any focus or quality of information whatsoever. And that's a soft skill.

And lastly, politics and big corporations now live on the internet with us. Their target audiences are those most intellectually defenseless people. But basically the whole internet has become centered around those. Because they can't discern and are basically technologically illiterate and don't understand how easy it is to feed them terrible commercials, propaganda and misinformation.

The internet becomes overregulated because of those users, and we get bombarded with marketing and politics because of them too. It's become a shit show and all you can do is navigate and use it extremely selectively. Remember, these 'normies' are the parents of the 20-30 year Olds who once judged them for spending too much time on their PCs and phones.

So you're saying that the more people we pay well, the more good free resources we get. What a novel idea.
