End-of-the-Internet Scenario
Most likely "end-of-the-internet" scenario: 1. Spambots become as intelligent as black people 2. reCAPTCHA and hCaptcha ethnically cleanse the internet by accident 3. Brief content renaissance 4. Media runs a barrage of sub-stories about ghetto children starving to death cuz dey mommas couldn't log into the EBT CardHolder portal; captchas likened to segregation-era literacy tests 5. USG bans captchas under public pressure 6. Internet flooded by bots 7. Distinguishing Black Traffic (always Capitalized in the press) from bot traffic becomes the world's foremost technical problem; spambots start pretending to be black, making it a perpetual arms race; the Valley's greatest minds throw themselves at this project to no avail 8. Online advertising goes bust; Facebook, Google file for bankruptcy 9. Collapse of Google Ads takes all of online "journalism" and "content-creation" with it 10. Catabolic collapse of post-2006 web infrastructure
A darkly satirical numbered list imagines the internet collapsing through increasingly intelligent spambots, failed captchas, bot traffic, and the collapse of online advertising. The joke uses exaggerated dystopian consequences and provocative racial satire to mock internet infrastructure, media language, tech culture, and dependence on Google Ads. It is shared as an absurd reaction to discussions about bots, AI-generated content, captchas, and the decline of the modern web.
