That "internet" all that "internet" journalists talk about was never alive in the first place.
There exists at least two entities with same name. Internet as an TCP/IP network and "internet" as a bunch of well-known corporations services created on top of that TCP/IP network. The latter was never alive. This thing was created as an urgent replacement of dying traditional MSM propaganda machine to prevent normies attention shift from centralized cable/press/radio/TV machine to something distributed and barely controlled. One of the things MSM was seriously disturbed by is a way new TCP/IP media developed in area of author-user interaction. With Internet users get a way to establish instant conversation with author and argue with him publicly. If that feature would have been allowed to develop further, MSM would not survive, because MSM's main principle was inability of consumers to publicly question MSM narratives and points. So they roll out "internet" for sheeple, where they keep their ability to never answer any questions.
If you separate that two internets, then all that whining about "internet death" will become pretty clear and irrelevant. Next logical step is to stop using their "internet", that was dead from the very beginning, but it is completely another story.
And.. where there is interaction... They censor it...
They censor only what they assume as "internet". They have no clue that there is really much more.
There's no attention to quality, it's all just about producing slop for mass appeal.
Even on their own territory of centralized social media they need to significantly overcome independent content creators. Even sheeple occasionally could produce something that could completely ruin narrative. So they have to produce a lot of content, but their resources are limited, so more content they create, less quality it have. They had huge hopes about neural network generated content, but that failed, because even dumb sheeple could distinguish real person content from ANN generated one.
They do not want to improve and perfect anything, they only hated things the way they are. The end of the Internet as a sub culture by UN plebs is proof.

Kind of.
Sounds like you might enjoy this content
This one too
Lol yeah. I think becoming a dad has grown him a little bit.
there is more interesting material now than there has ever been
I've been online since before the Internet - fidoNet, JaNET, Compuserve, private BBSes.
simple advice: be a producer, not a consumer, producing is far more rewarding
don't get sucked into a forum where all you do is talk about what you would do if you weren't too busy talking
