We are entering a new era of the internet. I think much of these once big sites are just going to be flooded with malware. And website to me that prompts you to subscribe to read the rest, or forces you to see ads, is malware to me.

Remember on the old computers when you could barely do anything because of malware? So it became a useless piece of junk.

That's what is happening to these websites, they are becoming cluttered with junk, while the website is developed around keeping distracted minds attentive.

I think people are becoming aware of their mindless scrolling, and they are realizing the junk they are being fed.

Over here on these sites there is far more constructive conversation and far more interesting posts that I don't need to scroll past 10 different ads to get to.

As people get smart and identify garbage social media, we will develop a smarter more realized spaces to mingle.
