Old internet versus New internet

[noname223]

One compliment I was quite happy about was: your posts sound like a blog on the old internet. I really appreciated that. Even though, I am unsure what this really means.

It probably means the era prior to AI slop content and social media. The internet was more genuine and more relatable. And SaSu keeps this alive. I read many forums are dead. And Reddit can be quite toxic.

I used for a shorttime social media in my life and it was really toxic for my mental health. The debate culture was horrible and the self-presentation etc. And I am also annoyed and disturbed about the AI content on many platforms.

I think there are some blogs out there. But maybe Substack replaced many of them. And turned them into a business with financial incentive structures. I think my writing also had to change in order to make money with it.

Personally, SaSu also feels more real and genuine. Something I don't experience on other platforms.

Yeah unfortunately a lot of things aren't "real" anymore on surface level internet, reddit is still somewhat decent on this aspect though imo
The monetization of everything truly ruins it, i used to love twitter, now it's all just farmer banger accounts that organize how to maximize engagement with stupid discourse and takes, and people don't even realize that both the shitpost and the other ones "dunking" on it are all already organized just to make you agree or feel good depends on which side to take
It all just becomes dumb and meaningless, this site also makes me appreciate old style forum more, something i was never able to do in its heyday for some reason
