The internet was conceptualized by people who had no agenda, then it was acquired by people with an agenda.

The internet in and of itself suffers from the fact that anyone can access it, and it can interface with automated systems. That means open forums and places that require no real verification will always turn into a heaven for bots, shills and trolls.

Same as real life, really, only this time you don't need a shred of charisma to win the game.
