>Reddit is committing sudoku >Musk is turning Twitter into the new Gab >Instagram is an aging millennial desperately clinging to what's left of their youth >Facebook is a nursing home >YouTube is a clickbait farm >TikTok is a CCP propaganda outlet / data collection honeypot >"New media" companies like Gawker, Vice, BuzzFeed, etc have been absorbed back into the old corporate media ecosystem >Google, Wikipedia, Quora, Stack Exchange, etc are getting flooded with bot-generated bullshit faster than anyone can keep up with >zoomers are too dumb to figure out WordPress blogs with RSS feeds The public internet is over. Hope you all had fun.

A dark forum-style screenshot lists cynical observations about major internet platforms, including Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, and search or knowledge sites.

People send it as a bleakly humorous reaction to internet decline, enshittification, and nostalgia for the old web.
