I wonder if anyone wants to monetize everything. Hinting towards a subscription on Twitter or selling me a pdf of a collection of tips probably generated by chatGPT. Isn't the dopamine people get from likes enough gratitude why does every creator want to make even more money?

I agree with this. I personally miss a time when the internet was filled with genuine sharing of knowledge, art, and life, just for the sake of it. Now everything is just a collection of meaningless, SEO-optimized content and non-experts trying to sell courses and how-tos.

I don't think so. But you still find certain bubbles or communities that feel like the internet I described. Posts is such a case. But overall, I think attention economics, digital marketing, and SEO really messed everything up. And there's no way those things are going away.
