Modern internet is broken and no longer built for human beings. By 2026 the internet is
filled with robots
. One type of robots
generates
content and injects advertisements,
another
type ingests that content and
emulates
human engagement metrics. Modern social media platforms treat spam as something evil that must be automatically removed. But the irony is that commercial spam was never removed. It became the dominant form of communication on the internet.

The author also forgot that often in th mailing list, rss and such, it’s somewhat expected outside view, similar to a post in th federated media (like this one)
